I used an amber monitor on my Sinclair QL. None of those green screened ones 
for me — although I saw both green and amber terminals when I worked on 
Nortel PBX switches. Mostly DEC VT-520s, as I didn't became a Nortel tech 
until the mid to late 90s. (So I missed the older terminals... and, for the 
most part, the tape drives for backup.) My twin brother got to work on some 
of the original Nortel digital switches.
