If you have a 1084 (and I suspect many other monitors) you can just plug in
the output of a vcr into the composite jack on the back and punch the little
CBVS/RGB swtich just to the right of the volume control...  That would be
alot cheaper than a genlock (although not near as cute).   8^)  

But seriously folks, here's my real question:  Instead of buying a vcr, is
there some kind of box I can buy somewhere than receives TV and churns out
composite video and audio?  Or, even better, something that outputs analog
RGB?  My 1084 makes a wonderful TV when hooked up to a vcr, but I don't wanna
buy a vcr -- I'm a college student.
