Not calling you out personally, Lauchs and I do apologize if it seems that way. Just that reading in your question the usage of “your side” and “the other side” brought to mind once again the fact that many people I know have come to view politics a team sport. Didn’t decide anything about your beliefs.
Agree with the other respondent; that Goodwill store is the best one I’ve ever been to! Hopefully you also got an A520 modulator with the computer, else you might be limited to the black-and-white composite video signal out the computer’s RCA jack. Tough/expensive to find a display compatible with the 15KHz RGB signal out the 23-pin connector.
