I'm looking for a micro to purchase and the Amiga is among my choices.  I
saw one at a dealer the other day, and I really liked many of it's features,
but one thing I didn't like was the way the text appeared on the screen.
The letters weren't as crisp as I would like them, and when you are staring
at C code for hours at a time, crisp text is a necessity.  The dealer said
in his best salesmanship voice "Yes, the Amiga has a "softer" screen than
the ST, but it's really a manner of preference".  Well, I don't prefer it.
It makes what is otherwise an acceptable computer unacceptable.

Ok, now is this softness (1) The fault of the monitor or (2) The fault
of the video controller?  I'm thinking perhaps that if it's the monitor's
fault then I could buy one without a monitor and buy a better one separately.

Which is it?
