  The Apple monitor IS a Sony. But true you can get a mass-market Sony
cheaper. Go for a Multi-Scan analog if you can afford it (about the same
price as the Apple, much much better and compatible with IBM VGA).

  What's wrong with the Apple fan? It kept my GS cool, even when I had 4 cards
in it.  It's only $49. And try running your CPU on its side with the System
Saver GS! (as I have to to make room for the (yuck) PC also on my desk) 
For all that, you also get two whole extra outlets for only $50 more or so. 
What a deal! :-<

  Last I checked, 120ns 256Kx1 DRAMs were $5.99 ea. and dropping like a rock.
Not too bad...

  I won't say what I think of InCider, it's all been said before.

  Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all f-f-f-folks!
