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

(or removed from) whatever is current. nuf said. ;)

 If only Western Electric had found a way to offer
