Lots of technical and historical mistakes in this one :/ Amber was an option for way more than three years in the late 80s!

- derbOac 4y agoYes, I was also confused by that era because that's not the era I recall using amber monitors in. I do miss them, but only in the sense that if I had to pick a monochrome display for some reason it would be at the top of my list probably.
- Projectiboga 4y agoYep I got an Amber monitor with my Franklin Apple clone December 1982. So definitely not just a few years in the late 80s. They were never common green much more widespread.
- secretsatan 4y agoI also distinctly remember a friend of mine having an Amber monitor around that time for what I though was an Apple but could be mistaken. I was jealous, my dad had a CP/M machine with a green screen
