Or 3) Go out an purchase a special monitor, just like the Atari folks did.
Unlike the Atari, you can have both hooked up at the same time.

I've only found long persentence monochrome monitors in Green and Amber...
had hope for white phospor.  Oh, well, green is the second favorite. 

Oh, you say you don't have a A500 or A2000 with monochrome port?  Well, um,
it just is not going to look quite as nice... sorry!.
