Well, that's your opinion then, as a buyer who thinks a mono is worth
"substantially less."  The price will be higher for sellers and buyers
who don't mind, or want a mono.  There are folks out there that don't
think color is worth more than about $100.

Like I said, I got nearly a dozen offers a month and a half ago in the
$700-$750 range for my mono 750 (w/ 12 MB RAM).   You can say what you
want, the Usenet market voted about $700 for my mono.
