Ever tried text-processing on your > color monitor? Yes. That's the primary use of my ST. The quality of my SC1224 (the original 1985 JVC version) compares favorably with the monochrome monitors on the Atex publishing system I use at work. I bought the color because the first ST I examined was sitting next to an Apricot PC running GEM on a monochrome monitor. The Atari made the Apricot look pretty sick, and it cost about the same. If I planned to do desktop publishing, the picture would change. :-) And if I were buying my system from scratch, I'd choose monochrome and put the extra money toward a hard drive. | thelake!steve@stag.UUCP / ...rosevax!pwcs!stag!thelake!steve
