I was browsing eBay and came accross this Blue Apple Monitor /// for

An after-the-fact customization, I daresay.
And a horrifying shade of blue, at that.
What's even worse about that is that it's not your everyday Monitor ///
-- it's one of the much less common black & white ones (not the usual
A3M0039 green-screen). I've been keeping my eye out for one of those,
but getting this one pretty much requires sacrificing a A3M0039 for its
case.
i know back in the day you could get a replacement tube/screen for the //e
tilt monitor...in amber.....not sure what the part number was on how to do
that ..but i saw a couple of those..cheaper then replacing the monitor back
in the day....was kinda un-nerving to look at thou imho
And there was all the debate over which color screen was the best. I
think there were arguments in favor of each single one. I know there was
an ad in Byte where they sold the same monitor but provided the option of
b/w, amber or green. I'm sure that odd monitor that I got with something
but never used was amber, so I actually over the course of 20 years had a
b/w, a green phosphor (an Apple monitor) and an amber phosphor monitor.
What a quaint notion looking back. Everyone knows a color monitor is best
for you now.
