Well, mac emulation on the atari color monitor is not very satisfying.  You 
may be able to make it a little better by setting the colors to emulate a 
grey scale, but it is still pretty rough.  On the other hand, such emulation
with a mono monitor ($150 new, about $80 used) is superior to real mac monos.
