ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!  I'm getting tired of seeing my name thrown around
like a beach ball.

here is a suggestion that will keep everybody happy (I hope :v)):

have the color capability come on a separate card (There are 3 more slots)
and put the hardware for 32 bit color on it.  This way we could have MEGA
colors and (perhaps) enough memory to amply support such things as CAD.
(What? 8-16 megs would be nice [$$$]).

Then we can have a color screen that would need a special card to run it,
otherwise all you would get is grey scale. (does this sound like EGA/VGA/etc....)

Tanx for listening.
