>> Ha, and thats why the turbo color slabs and dimension cubes dont exist! 
Not until 1991 with the NeXTStation and the upgrade to the cube me bucko - prior to that they ALL came with 17" monochrome, and NeXTStep had ZERO support for the CONCEPT of color.
You kids might not remember this, but back in the 80's Stevo kept saying 'nobody needs color' over and over... on the Mac, on the NeXT... It's actually something that always amazed me was 'graphics' people's raging chodo for the Mac - since up until recently (past... six years) they've had consistantly poorer color depth, lower operating resolutions, and in general lagged a good five years behind 'Rest of World' on graphics capabilities...
Of course, the video(s) illustrate the detachment from reality that pervaded NeXT - look at it, it's a bunch of idealistic college age kids with no business knowledge, heads full of immature idealism throwing around marketspeak and buzzwords like it was going out of style... You'd almost think they were talking about Web 2.0

Because of course, nobody ever needs a color monitor - besides they're too expensive.
