I would settle for finding one for $100! I have been shopping around a little for a mono monitor, and the cheapest NEW price I have found mail-order is $160 (locally, the only place in town want $200). I have been as yet unable to find a used one for even $100, let alone $60. If anyone knows of or has a monochrome monitor they want to sell for a decent price, PLEASE! let me know (Spectre can be *painful* on a color monitor). -- Tim -- Tim Northrup +------------------------------------------+ +---------------------------------+ GEnie: T.Northrup | UUCP: uunet!crdgw1!brspyr1!tim | Air Warrior: "Duke" | ARPA: tim@brspyr1.BRS.Com +------------------------------------------+
