Personally I like the 9 inch screen. There have been a few times when a
larger one would be handy. We have people in our department who have
failing eyes. They have a lot of trouble using the Mac. The default 
character size is just to small. I have adjusted the normal default to
Geneva 14 and that helps. The only trouble I have now is with terminal
programs. The font used in all the ones I have seen is 9 point and not
adjustable. This has caused the greatest problem. We are considering the
ProApp screen that is a 12" version of the Mac screen ($300 US) to over
come this problem. If any one has any other suggestions my eyes and ears
are open. Please reply directly to me. Thanks.
