	Over here. I prefer Black and White (Paper white screens)
	though I have a colour screen on the test bench. For work
	it another VGA Paperwhite screen.

	I prefer BlackandWhite and have, thankfully, never seen
	XyWRite in colour.

	I hated XyWrite 4's installation, because it assumed some
	colour mode that made installation practically invisible.
	TTG must only use Colour (and now only graphics?) instead
	of tried and true.

	And OS/2 initial screens were the same, but futher 'in'
	the installation mode it was visible.

	Matrox Millenium, and ATI WonderPlus video cards though,
	driving the Black and White.
