	They've grown the hate the bitmapped displayed of the Macintosh
because of -blurry letters-???  I can't see where the Mac would have
letters any "blurrier" than any other computer - in many cases I find
the Mac to have a sharper display.
	The only thing I can think of the explain this is that perhaps your
colleagues are using poor quality displays (you did say that they were
using a number of different kinds).  Other than that - I just don't
understand that claim.
