We are trying to implement a network of Macs in an office environment
which in turn will interface with a mini and a main-frame.  In many
cases the Mac will be used for order entry, word processing, 
electronic mail, and customer service functions, where the user will
be spending 5 to 8 hours a day staring at the screen.  While I know
of several large screen solutions, most of them require an additional
cost of $1500 to $2500 per station.  This cost is not acceptable
within the scope of this solution.  What is needed is a medium-large
display, 12 inches would suffice, which is fairly stable, for no more
than several hundred dollars.  It should be able to be used with a
Mac Plus or an SE, and ideally, with a Mac II.

I would appreciate any help in coming up with a cost effective solution.
Information on commercial solutions as well as hack-it-yourself approaches
is desired.  Please send by E-mail and I'll post the results to the net.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.
