As a Commodore fan it can be hard to get Commodore composite monitors
because most other classic computerists/gamers know how good some of
them are.

Not exactly. Certain people are still buying
monitors working or
not. One
of my friends just brokered a deal on 3,000 old
apple monitors. Not nice
big ones either, but old 14" monitors.
You have unusual friends. Or one friend who is REALLY strange.
Hmmmm. Why would a spammer want thousands of old monitors,. . .

Most arcade cabinets I've seen have used something more like 20" screens, not
13" ones, though I suppose that could be fixed by moving the screen so that
its reflection would be bigger.
But don't arcade games use 15KHz screens usually?

Then again they're easier to get than other screens. And more versatile, of
course.

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
If the designers of X-Windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five
steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same
principles -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful
feature, that.
