Another alternative would be to make the productivity mode work with a hi-res mono monitor. Then low-end users could use a TV for colour (games etc.) and a cheap monitor for hi-res text work. This is how many people use the Atari ST. It's not as good as having a dedicated monitor, but if money is important than its useful to be able to do this. Indeed, someone claimed on comp.atari.st recently thst a mono monitor had a clearer screen than a "cheap" multi-sync. >Commodore should allow their multiscan monitor as an extra-cost option >on any bundle where they are now forcing the customer to take a 1084.
