    You have a color one?! Where do you get it? I only have a white ASCII one.
    Seriously tho, in the event there is any doubt. I firmly believe that
    it should *always* be a matter of choice. One should always be able to
    enable/ disable, add or remove. So, should there be any doubt, I intend
    this - whatever it should become - to be something that can be added to
    (or removed from) whatever is current. nuf said. ;)

     If only Western Electric had found a way to offer
    binary licenses for the UNIX system back in 1974,
    the UNIX system would be running on all PC's today
    rather than DOS/Windows.
