Ohmigod!!! I am so amazed that somebody _actually_ read my article
and will admit it. The only problem I have is that the Copy Editors
added in a reference to Radius being in Sunnyvale, when they are
actually in San Jose.

The opinion in the article was formulated between the Review
Editor, Assistant Review Editor, two Mac-luminaries (who
happened to be in the office at the time), and myself.
We all agreed that the Apple Monochrome Two-Page Monitor
was not capable of creating as dark a black as any other
monitor used during the review. It was explained to us
that that is due to the 21" size tube and the physics
thereof.

Note: They still haven't paid me. I don't even get MacWeek,
I "don't qualify" for a free subscription.
