So, the KIMstation.  What is that?  A rebadged DECstation?

Speaking of which, I still haven't found anyone who could tell me how to
set XFree to greyscale while still letting all the programs think it is
true color.  I'd find this rather handy, especially on the machines I have
that only have 8 overlay planes.

Personally, I've always like black and white interfaces.  The Symbolics
and early Mac OSs always impressed me.  But, I don't want to try getting
all my X software to go to B&W.
