Now that Macintosh motherboards have become so highly integrated and
therefore SMALL, why not introduce a new design (or designs) putting said
motherboards inside large-screen monitors.  I could easily picture, for
instance, the guts of a IIsi mounted inside the portrait display, with a
slightly taller case to accomodate the floppy disk and the peripheral ports.
Apple could market it as an all-in-one desktop publishing/word processing
solution. Many other combinations are possible.
Is this a crazy idea?  I think not.  Comments?
