Speak for yourself, Joe.-)  Besides, what you're saying is that IBM
offers a much steeper educational discount for the package you're
interested in.

Nope.  The PS/2-30 has MCGA:  320x200x256 colors (same resolution as
Tandy expanded CGA, but with a better palette), 640x480x2 colors, and
CGA modes.  Yes, the text modes have fairly nice characters (*much*
nicer than a CGA monitor can display in only 640x200).  You can add a
VGA card and use it with the PS/2-30's monitor.
