   Apple used to have a LCD panel that used the auxillary video port on the
back of the //c.  I have been looking for a nice flat screen display for
some time now (obviously I didn't buy the apple version).  The display was
about 3 inches tall and about 9 inches wide (fat squished text).  I haven't
seen the C-Vue panel, but I think it is pretty much the same idea.

   I have a nice Epson panel (just the panel w/ refresh circuitry) that is
6" x 8" (sort of fat squished text), but its interface is bit mapped pixels.
I picked it up CHEAP ($20) from a surplus parts store in Boston but have
never taken the time to look into interfacing it to the //c video port.
If a good 9" -> 12" diagonal flat-screen display (color not necessary) were
made for the //c I also would be very interested (is AE listiening? ;-)
