Betty: I should have mentioned that the Sony is an NTSC monitor, so
apparently it will work fine with the Amiga. I'm still worried about the
flickering problem, though — I really don't want to look at flickering
lines all the time!
I've read a bit about Workbench 2.0, and I like it a lot, vs. the older
version. I thought that by now 2.0 would be standard on the whole Amiga
line. It takes a bit to sort out what I really need in a computer, and how
much I'm willing to spend. It's clear that, although my present computer
serves me rather well, that it has reached pretty much its peak of
expandibility, and it's time to upgrade. I currently use a Tandy CoCo 3
with 512K, 2 5-1/4 drives, and the Sony RGB monitor, along with a daisy
wheel printer & a 300 baud modem. Clearly, the Amiga would be a big step up
for me. I like the Amiga mainly due to the Motorola processor, as well as
AmigaDOS which I seem to understand much easier than MS-DOS, because of its
similarity with the CoCo 3's 6809-based OS-9 Level II with Multi-Vue.
