[comp.sys.next] Shakespeare on monochrome screens

As I played with the demo Next machine at my local micro-emporium, I could hear
some mutterings behind me: "Doesn't it have color? For $11000, it ought to have
color. ... Even my Apple II had color."  Muttering to myself now about the
idiocy of some users, I idly opened the Shakespeare directory and randomly
selected Sonnet 101.  There in the middle of the screen, it clearly said:
          "Truth needs no color, with his color fix'd . . "
