H. Pollock x4575 3S235) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus Lines: 22 Dear Apple: I've heard many disconcerting rumors that the next generation Mac will have a 12" diagonal screen. This means that the effective vertical screen size (11/1.414) is roughly 7". Please (oh please oh please) give me a screen that can display 8.5 x 11!!! I want to be able to see one complete page while I'm working in MacPaint, MawWrite, or any other program for that matter!! Even with editors, its nice to be able to show two 24 x 80 windows, and have room left over! I hope Apple hears this; I'm planning to buy their next machine, but only if it has a large enough screen. I'd bet others feel the same as me. From the strong (left) arm of: W. H. Pollock, UUCP: ...{ihnp4,cbatt}!cbnap!whp DELPHI: WHP GEnie: W.POLLOCK "The opinions expressed above are ficticious.
