Much better to stick to 1 *bit* per pixel. :-) Like in Sun SPARCStation ELC. No ...

1bpp (at low resolution) is still relevant today on epaper screens, though some of them now allow for shades of grey or even color.

Most aren't all that low res either... 300dpi is standard.

But what if it's a UTF8 bit? Then it'd be 2 bits.

Which proves time travel exists, all those "two bits" references in old Westerns.
