At Davis, we use a lot of Microterm Ergo 320's.  They're cheap copies
of a 220.  When they took away our 220 and gave us a green screen 320,
my eyes thought they were going to die.  Three hours working on that
cheap monitor under fluorescent lights, and I always had a severe
headache and often had difficulty seeing well enough to read a printed
page.

After much begging, I managed to get an amber screen 320.  The monitor
resolution is still terrible, but I don't get the same incapacitating
headache and eye strain.

Anybody else notice that a lot of the cheap green monitors just KILL your
eyes when you're working under fluorescent lights?

Also, what's the best vt100 type terminal for someone with very bad eyes?
