In the near future I may have the opportunity to actually
run SeeTeX (or is it xtex?). What hardware/server/display
combination do you consider optimal?  Some components of my
ideal environment are:

* The ability to see a whole page at a time
* Good display resolution (100 dpi minimum)
* Good correspondence with printed output
* Fast screen updates and page transitions
* The ability to handle just about any DVI file

It's interesting to note how hardware has effected some
design decisions in SeeTeX---for example, how using X fonts
instead TeX fonts helps slow hardware like the Sun 3/60.

So, what are your thoughts? If you could run SeeTeX on any
existing X-terminal or workstation what would you choose?
