Are there any persons out there who have knowledge/experiences of 
hypertext/hypermedia documents(experiences) as authors and/or
readers where the creative/learning hardware interface is say
two A4 or perhaps two A3 screens. Does good quality hardware
(and the corresponding enabling software) for an excursion
into the creation and reading of such documents.
I am a rather boring pc clone user -now in middle age -
thinking of areas beyond financial models. Some of the ides of the 
hypermedia gurus actually seem so worth trying i may buy a Mac
- not of course informing friends. Reading some of the mags on the M            Mac -delivered to my home in brown paper bags have lately been 
full of great ideas on hypertext/hypermedia - however large 
colour screens in this arena should give leverage to one's ideas
, the second screen used for tracing navigation or perhaps just more 
display area etc. Anyway back to the point!! what do you think of th           the need for such technology. Does it exist (and work well). What 
companies offer such hardware. Is the h/w (if existing) good 
quality and above all reliable!!! What software exists to exploit
such  h/w. Oh and I forgot -at what price! I know little ofthe
Mac -I have never touched the keyboard or mouse of one, let 
alone scanners, digitizers and the like.
Could someone help a character who has spent 20 years on IBMs
Vaxes and IBM pc clones.
