Stephen, all you needed to do to solve the problem of the lack of color
was to open the control panel, and select the monitors CDEV and switch
from B&W to color, or drop from 16 or 256 to 2 colors and switch back and
the problem would have been gone. Sometimes you may notice that the Mac icon
in the welcome to Macintosh is not in color either, this fixes that also.
