	I just bought a Sony KV-1311CR monitor.  This particular monitor
doubles as a complete color-tv.  It has inputs for standard NTSC (e.g.
VCR), analog RGB, and digitial RGB.  Connecting it to my Amiga via the
analog RGB inputs, I got an extremely sharp, clear, display.  I think it
easily beats the Amiga Monitor.  (However, the Amiga Monitor costs $150 less)

	It's kindof nice to be able to use your monitor as a high quality
color TV with channel select and remote control, but if you don't care for
the TV part, there is another version of the monitor which is just a monitor.
I haven't seen it, but assume it's exactly the KV-1311CR minus the TV
circuits.  Oh, by the way, the TV version is cable-ready as well.

	The Display in interlace mode is the best I've seen for a normal-
speed phosphor display.

	It cost me about $550 for the Sony.  I could have gotten the
monitor-only version for $450.

	Other features: Has a sleep-mode (TV version), which automatically
turns off the monitor an hour after the mode is activated.


-------------------------------------------------------

I would also like to take this oportunity to thank all the Commodore and
Amiga people for their personal support, and would like to note that
C-A DID get practical documentation out faster than Apple ever did for
the MAC when it was first introduced.  It gives us a unique oportunity to
shape the future of the machine and to otherwise provide useful feedback
to the designers and programmers.  For every feature I didn't like there
were a hundred that I did.  I have not been able to find fault with a single 
MAJOR property of the Amiga.  Top-Notch all the way.

By the way, was the RAM: disk fixed in Beta 6?, I've only got Beta 4.
