Basic computers should be able to display gray

In real life, black and white TVs display black, white, and all the grays. Why can't basic computers display grays?

Well, I think the idea is that basic computers are 'black and white', not monochromatic (which would allow for grays). However, I would welcome grays on basic computers.

A lot of time basic computers are used for anything that doesn't involve a complex interface, like a red net server. It would be nice to use some gray in the interface of the server and such to distinguish stuff like text fields.

even if the monitor is monochromatic and not grayscale, how about white backround black text?

you should test first ;)/> normal computers (even Turtles) can do either background or text and black and white.

That can already be done.
