I still like the Monitor ][.  I like the tilting screen, I like the
bright, fast phosphor, and I really like the internal glare filter (the
back surface of the Monitor ][ screen is etched to make it anti-glare, and
it works.  Why didn't they do that with either the GS monitor or with the
composite color monitor?).

In fact, I have two ][e's set up right now with Monitor ]['s.  8-)
