Lines: 24 I have been given the job of upgrading some Mac systems and sure could use some of the vast knowledge and experience residing out there in network land. I would greatly appreciate any inputs on your experiences, opinions or recomendations (both pro & con) on any or all of the following types of Mac add-on hardware. ********** LARGE SCREEN COLOR MONITORS ( > 13") SCANNERS (preferably ones that can create text as well as pictures [they can do that, can't they]) OPTICAL DISKS (these don't have to be Mac compatable) HIGH CAPACITY HARD DISK DRIVES ( >100 Meg) PLUG-IN PARALLEL PROCESSOR CARDS (does anybody make one of these?) ********* If you have a particular brand to recommend, a possible source and/or phone # would be helpful if you have it. Thanks in advance for any input you may be able to make. John Snow
