Maybe it is just that my eyes are getting old but I prefer green over all
other colors. Green seems to focus better. I have used a 5620 for about four
years and can read it from about five feet away even with its small characters.

I had an amber screen 620 next to the 5620 and found that the 620's larger
characters were harder to read from any distance.

Before I got the 5620 I used a terminal with a white on black screen.
When I switched from the green screen to the white screen, the white characters
had a pink tint.

Too bad the 630 isn't available in green.
