I see two page (monochrome) displays for Macs advertised at
pretty reasonable prices. (around $1200 for 19 inch tubes).
The ones we have at work seem to work ok with acceptable
performance.

If I try to run my Super VGA IBM PC clone at 1024x768 in
Windows, it works but the performance is intolerably slow.

And I don't even get a full page, much less two full pages.
And of course, for $1200 all you can get is a 16 inch tube
without graphics adaptor. It is color but I don't need that.

For word processing, Macs seem better, unless there are some
nice big, fast, inexpensive TPDs for PCs that aren't being
advertised.

Any comments?
