Please email to me your opinions concerning the matter, and if you
can, how much you paid for your //gs systems, and what software
and what you do on it.  If things go the way I want it, by
next summer I'll have Desdamona II...

    I'm very much interested in reading responses to the above posting. 
Could you please post your responses to the net for everybodys consumption?

    The //gs is the first Apple product that has turned my head. I have a 
6 yr. old entering the first grade and I see a lot of potential with the 
color and sound capabilities(not to mention the fun for myself!).
I don't have ANY Apple // stuff, so the transportability is not a concern.
I've been monitoring this note file for insight and biding my time waiting 
for Apple to work out the bugs and bring the price down. 

There was a previous posting that recommended purchasing a Sony 13" monitor
instead of the Apple monitor. Are the display characteristics any better, or 
is it just cheaper? If anybody has purchased one of these Sony monitors, I 
would like to hear of their experiences concerning cabling, physical
compitabiliy(does it fit on top of the SPU?), etc.

                            Thanks,
                                Larry
