Thanks, Morgan (Morgan D. Wise, wisem@stat3.byu.edu who is apparently
not going to have e-mail access for a while), for that very well-written
article.

I was disappointed to hear that NeXT is shipping color cables with monitors
and not with computers (and presumably not with NeXTdimension boards).

Morgan mentioned that he knew of a 3-rd party monitor that should work in
place of the NeXT Color monitors.  But, he didn't reference that 3rd
party monitor explicitly.  What model is it?  Does anyone know what monitors
work?  How about those that are commonly used with other color workstations,
like the Sony monitors that are resold with IBM RISC System/6000, Sun and
Hewlett-Packard workstations?

The NeXT 17" Phillips-made display may be a lot less expensive than the Sony
that NeXT orginally displayed with its color products, but the output
of the Phillips display seems awfully washed-out to me.  (Once again,
it is rumored that on 10-May, the list price of the NeXT 17" display will
drop from $3000 to $2000, and that decrease will supposedly be accompanied by
a $1000 increase in the price of the Color NeXTstation.  Too bad.)
