After using my original HP-150 (with the small screen), I developed a bad
case of eyestrain. After using the system for 15-20 minutes, I had trouble
focusing on the rest of the real world for up to an hour.

I was able to secure an HP-150-II with the larger screen, and the eyestrain
problems were mostly alleviated. Now I use a SUN with a 19" screen, and I don't
have any problems whatsoever with eyestrain.

I've also noticed having some problems after using a MAC or an Atari-ST
monochrome (until I enlarged the screen image on the ST).

Despite what HP and Apple say about the clarity of the small screns, I
guess there's a class of people who just cannot stare at the small screens
all day.
