Apple will soon (?) be introducing an X server for the Mac called MacX
that will run under the MacOS.  I think price is supposed to be around
$300.  The nice thing is that the server will apparently run on any
model of the Mac from the Plus on up.  I read an article recently
where someone mentioned an Apple rep demoing MacX on the Portable.
They claimed that this made it the only portable X server machine on
the market.  Imagine: get yourself one of those 19.2K-baud
error-correcting Telebit modems, and run X11 client programs remotely
from your hotel room (!)...
