[rescue] Old Monitors

[luigi30 at gmail.com]

I found one on eBay for cheap, Ibll give it a try. I would prefer a CRT as
well (I currently use an old off-brand 13b
 monitor with the Amiga and ST)
but finding one that can handle RGB input, is in good shape, and isnbt
impossible to ship can be pretty difficult.

I have a little 10b
 PVM for things that do composite that came out of a
schoolbs TV studio - now thatbs a good display for an 8-bit micro.
