This is really interesting. First I hear from many people that Mac
is a viable platform even in b/w (color is available for the Mac for
not so long) and then I hear that this machine is not worth anything.
When I am supposed to buy a Mac for one of the officers and she
wants b/w, should I get her color? No. She wants b/w and I will get
it for her, even if someone thinks it is not interesting. She is
supposed to work on it. She is not interested in the interesting
computer.

All advocates of Mac who claim that b/w Mac is not an appropriate
Mac, should face the fact that disregarding them would cut the number
of considered Macs (here color ones) down to the number of Amigas. 
Thus they would not have the advantage of a sheer number
of boxes over them. What advantage would be left then?
