I have one with all of the original boxes, software, and a color monitor! It's the only old computer I can't bring myself to throw out.

IIRC, PGS (princeton graphics systems) didn't come out with that color monitor until 1984 or 5, is that correct?

My dad had gotten one of those awful brown monochrome monitors. We thought we were hot stuff cuz he got the Hercules graphics adapter, allowing you to display graphics on the same screen as text. Dang that was cool back then.
