That is a VERY reasonable thing to ask! It's in Denver, and Emanuel
Stiebler has expressed interest (he's local) so he'll probably get here
first.

The experience I have with Apollo monitors for, among others, their
2000-series stations is that they had monitors which were very nice for the
time, and worked at 1024x800. These worked fine with a modified SVGA board.

There's a local surplus guy who's got about a half dozen Appollo stations
with the HP label on them and with HP monitors which he's trying to sell for
$75. I doubt he'll sell even one.
