I think the question would be, does the Newton retain this color info in
the first place. If it just discards it, then it's a hopeless cause. If, on
the other hand, it retains it, but the display just doesn't display it,
then it should be theoretically possible, right? For instance, if you have
a greyscale monitor set up on your computer. Is it not receiving both
signals, but just ignoring the chromo? Not that I hold much hope of this
happening (I do own a 130) but am curious. :-)
