I think it would more be a matter of allowing a Mac to serve as an Xterminal to run applications
specific to ones work environment. Here at Hp many of us are just discovering X and potential
applications related to the software development that we do here. If we start using X
applications running on say an 840 or 825srx it would be real nice if my display was my Mac.
It would be especially nice if it could be my Mac + or a Mac SE as I don't have a Mac II.

So, it is more a matter of the Mac being able to seamlessly fit into an X environment, rather
than my wanting to run an X word processor or even X Macpaint. Though it sure would be 
interesting to provide the same type of capabilities that Appleshare does on all the 
wonderful Hp boxes I have available, then I wouldnt have to lug my Jasmine 80 to work.
