Read my article again, Ethan.  I said that the Amiga does not have adequate
RESOLUTION for GUI's.  To me, it doesn't matter how many colors you have --
monochrome is great on my Sun at work.  The NeXT and SuperVGA have the
resolution, while the Amiga doesn't.  At the lower resolutions, where you
might want lots of colors, VGA comes through, with 256 of 256K.
