I bought an AT system with a Hercules graphics monitor, but quickly found that very little software (other than strict text) ran on it. My solution was to buy a very cheap Rennaisance VGA card ($140 brand new), and a Goldstar VGA paper white ($110 brand new). All my game playing friends were disappointed that I didn't get a color monitor, but I have been completely satisfied with mono. Try looking in Computer shopper for some really good deals. The prices noted above were what I paid in November 89, so they probably haven't dropped much since then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Draper - Michigan State University ------------------------------------------------------------------------
