What about when you want to look at HAM pictures? I was REAL tempted to get an A2024, but I need to run color software at least half the time. I almost bought a second Amiga just so I could have both (color and monochrome) at the same time... But, thanks to your A3000, I am now using a 1380x484 (slightly flickery) workbench with my original Amiga RGB monitor. I never minded the flicker, all along, anyway. -- **************************************************** * I want games that look like Shadow of the Beast * * but play like Leisure Suit Larry. * ****************************************************
