It's not that I dislike color -- I dislike color monitors !

I like my 14-inch monochrome "portrait" monitor for editing: it's bright,
it's legible across the room, and it's not tiring when I'm sitting two feet
away.  And it displays *73 lines* of 9-point monospace text very clearly !
Color monitors with this clarity are very expensive.

With High Definition TV (HDTV) coming soon, the cost of very-high-quality
color monitors for computers is sure to decrease.  Someday maybe I'll have
a color "tube" that is as pleasant to view as this old black & white screen
!  (I do use the SVGA 15-inch color monitor with the Web Browser, but the
clarity is very inferior.)
