Re: Blue Apple Monitor ///?

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.
