  [argument that NeXT should support a Grayscale display on the
   NeXTstation color delete]

I completely agree.  NeXT is loosing a lot of sales because many
people will choose 386 clone with color VGA over the NeXT in part
because it has color.  I have already seen this happen.  The 17"
MegaPixel Grayscale Display is much better in my opinion(the fact is
the NeXT is unquestionably better), but selling computers is how the
game is played.  Prices of 486 machines are about to drop too,
eliminating NeXT's performance advantage.
