Also we bought them when Sun considered them a standard? Also we have 19" Mono for our Word Processing FRAME users. They REALLY need it. On a 17" MONO, I find that by choosing my FONT carefully I can get 2 34x80 windows side by side without overlapping, this is essential. It has the added feature that noone will use my terminal because they can't read it. We have one 19" high-res resolution 1600 x 1280 monitor. This thing is great, albeit expensive. :-) If you listen carefully to SUNs hype you will find the following phrase a lot. Sun wants to own the desktop. In fact I have a hat from them that says this. Clearly the desktop cannot support such a bulky monitor I mean where would all of those middle managers put their coffee cups. Frank P.
