    My final comment on this matter is that I suspect that as soon as people
start using MultiFinder (which will be the standard operating environment
in 3-6 months for many users) you will be cursing the small monitor. Part
of this is because Apple hasn't yet put any special window management 
into MultiFinder (beyond the layer manager) and you soon get swamped with
windows if you run multiple applications. Worse still, as more applications
run in background you really may want to SEE what those applications are
WRITING into their windows so hidden windows may be a pain.
