Yes, but also consider how many people are buying into large LCD colour tvs and expecially HDTV.

Yes, and lots of them are watching "The Twilight Zone" or "The Honey Mooners" or "I Love Lucy" (all b&w series) etc. on their big color screens. None of these series would be as effective in color, for me, anyway.
High contrast b&w photos can be very effective. . it depends on the particuliar image.
I have a considerably different opinion and view on this than you, but I respect your right to your point of view.

Greg. . . I like the desaturated version alot, much more so than the original. The b&w can be effective here, but I'm not happy with the results of your particuliar conversion.
Here is a b&w version that retains more of the tones from the original. However, I still am finding your desaturated version the best result of all.
Great image anyway it's sliced.
