I've got two questions:

Large screen monochrome monitors:
  I wish to drive several large screen monitors from a 
monochrome 1040.  Has anyone tried to do this?  I know the 71 Hz 
frame refresh requires special monitors.  Brand names and model 
numbers of suitable monitors would be appreciated.
  Can someone at Atari comment on the monitor requirements for 
the new 1000X1000 bit screens (or is that just a rumor?).


Slow text editors:
  I have now used two general purpose editors: 1st-word and a 
VAX look-alike.  Both are abnormally slow to open and close 
large working files, taking similar times to floppy, hard disk, 
or ram disk.  Abnormally slow means they take something like 
5 to 10 times longer than a copy operation.  What gives?
