Hmm, does this mean we can have, in addition to plain ol' color amigas,
amigas with 2-bit (or more) grey-scale screens, lotsa resolution, and 
maybe build some anti-aliased fonts? That would be kind of fun? 
I remember Richard@gryphon mentioning A-A fonts, and Tom Rokicki
even built some, I think. Whaddya think? Can we have a mono-amiga
with pretty anti-aliased fonts? Sort of a cheap NeXT look?
