  Or when they were selling (at a good price, for all that) an EGA
monitor a week or so ago. Didn't define it as EGA, but by number of
colors, resolution, etc., then stated that it would work with *ANY*
PC or compatible out there - just plug and play! Had some poor
Grandma on. They'd recently bought a PC for the grandchildren, but
the little darlings didn't want black and white, so now they'll
have color. Does anyone mention *color graphics adapter card*, or
*EGA* graphics card? Hell no...
