I have a friend that wishes to upgrade his SE/30 system to color. He would
prefer 24bit, but that is only because he doesn't want to ever have to upgrade
his system again. I think 8 bit would be perfectly adequate for what he wants.
(i.e. playing color games. Although he also is thinking about getting into
desktop publishing on the side)

What I want is recommendations/warnings from people who have done a similar
upgrade. He is looking at MacLand's 8bit color system for $799 which is a
Magnavox 14" and a Micron Exceed card (I believe), but nothing is concrete and
who knows, he may go out at buy a 24bit 21" color system just because its there.
Dont you hate people that do that(or at least people who can afford to do that?
8-).
