   My apologies if this has been discussed before.
 
   I was flipping through an old BYTE (May, 1987) and there was a blurb in the
   "What's New" section for an amber screen conversion for the Macintosh!?  DId
   anyone have this done, and what's it like?  
 
   Really curious...  Rich
 
I got mine way back then, I don't even remember the company's name
offhand, but it is truly a great upgrade.  It is just a new crt tube
to swap in. The phosphor has just enough persistance to completely
eliminate flicker at normal viewing distance.  I dislike flicker so
much that I surround myself with DC halogen lamps at home, and my Plus
looks great next to them.
