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've been keeping my eye out for one of those, but getting this one pretty much requires sacrificing a A3M0039 for its case.
