   You guys on this net obviously know what you're talking about, so
   I've got one big question:
      Could someone post a short explanation of differences in the above
   things?  Is one a type of the other? Will it work in an AT?  How much?
   Differences between mono and color? Is it bigger than a breadbox?
   (just kidding about the last one.)
       Anyway, I'm shopping for something for my father's AT for christmas
   (that way I can enjoy it too! HA HA HA)  Any help is greatly appreciated
   even wrong information might get me started on the right track.
						       Thanks.
