Re: A2 GEOS

It is pretty colorless, but there can be some basic
colors if I want them.  Besides, ANYTHING beats those
stupid green monochrome monitors.  I do have a couple
of true greyscale monitors (not Apple, Zenith, and
something else) for the A2, but like I say, why bother
with anything else when you have the Color Monitor IIe?
