  If it was a decent 20" color monitor, then it probably cost
a lot more than two grand.

  Does anyone know what these Sony 16" monitors which Sun sells cost?
Initially I thought they were too small [i.e. 1152x900 in 16" makes
for fairly small fonts], but I've become very fond of mine. I'd rather
have 19", but at least when we bought this SS1, the 19" monitor was
about twice the cost of the 16" version.

  Has anyone tried hooking up a color X-Terminal to an A3000UX? It 
strikes me that this might end up being the cheapest way to get good
color on the thing. We can apparently get color NCD X-Terminals with
megapixel resolution for around $1800 [that probably is a UC or GSA
price]. 

  Of course a color X-Terminal wouldn't be very useful when running
AmigaDOS. [Though I'm not sure how useful the 2410 will be either;
I believe you can write X clients for the Amiga].
