Greyscale might as well be color, for me.  If I'm going that route, I
like a nice 1 bit black and white display. *pats his SLC*

But I tend to work in text, anyone that knows me knows I run X to get a
bit xterm to run screen in.  X just lets me get more characters on the
screen than the console generally does.

Philosophical question, to be sure, but physiologically, we have rods
and cones, they detect light and color, it's possible to lose your color
sight, but still see the world in shades of grey, so, I guess it might
be possible for your brain to shut down the color parts when you're
dreaming. *shrug*  I definately don't know what I'm talking about. =)
