Regarding the SE/30:

     I would hate to think that the monochrome monitor on an SE/30 is just
"attatched" there.  It's more of an occupant, like a snail in a shell (not to
imply that the SE/30 is slow).  If you want to attatch something to an SE/30,
why not an external color monitor or a color printer; Color QuickDraw enables
it to support a variety of color graphics devices.  Hey, how 'bout a Color
QuickDraw-based holographic projector (OOPs, those haven't been invented yet).
