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.

For me, nostalgia dictates amber, I had an amber monitor on the II+ clone I spent most of my time with (though the family's II+ had a color monitor). For me, amber always seemed much calmer, though perhaps not as sharp as green. My terminal windows now though are always white or green on black, so I don't know what that indicates.
