I think every server machine should have its own monitor connected, in
case there are log/error messages that are only available on the
console. I've seen machines go down with that as the only source of
information about what went wrong. I think this is a bigger priority
that having more/better color monitors for the office machines...
Also, I think keeping the Ctrl-Alt-Return functionality is important.
We definitely don't need color monitors, though, so if someone
happened to ask us if we'd like some DEC black-and-white ones that
they weren't using, we probably should say "yes".
