	Thad,

	Looking thru some of my old files I see that there were available thru
	various vandors, a paper white and a amber crt for the Unix-pc. Why
	don't you keep it simple and just change the tube ? ;-)

Which path bounced?  All sites I'm on have fully-registered domains and appear
in UUNET's uucp maps (see below).

In any event, I've only seen one 3B1/UNIXPC having an amber phosphor CRT and
I've heard rumors of ONE within CT possessing a blue-white phosphor CRT; there
are many "white" phosphors available, most of which have an objectionable cast.

The term "paper white" means a specific phosphor (meaning a number something
like P4, P41, P33, etc. though I have no idea of the particular one; I've no
real data on monitors, phosphors, video, etc.).

Besides, the 3B1 with which I'm experimenting with external monitors NEEDS an
external monitor because it is in a floor-standing tower case.  :-)
