Take your monitor home.  The RF modulator is ok for looking at pictures and
animations, and like that -- but if you want to do any text work, the picture
is just too fuzzy.  Unless you want to go to a 60x25 screen -- it might be
almost bearable then.  However, you'll probably still end up wishing you
had a real monitor.

Alternatively, you could get a cheap monochrome monitor for ~$100.
