I'm considering buying a monitor for my RS color computer.  I'd like to get
a color monitor so that I can play games in color, but my primary reason for
getting the monitor is for use with a wordpak II 80-column card.

1) Will games that use pseudo-colors look the same?  The type of game I am
worried about (eg, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, etc) uses closely spaced white lines
in two color mode to achieve various colors.

2) Will 80-columns look good on a color monitor or will I get a lot of
color-fringes around the characters?  Would I be better off with a
monochrome monitor?

3) Any recommendations for a monitor, adaptor board, etc?

Please, mail responces to me.  If I get more than two or three I'll post a
summary.  Thanks!
