- With that kind of high-quality output readily available in tandem with
- NeXTSTEP, is there any need for NeXT to support their own hardware? I suspect
- NeXT's response to this would be to use a NeXTdimension board with two monitors
- so that you could double the resolution on at least one axis....sure, it would
- cost you the price of an ND board and another monitor, but you get the
- resolution....not the pixel density, but the part of the resolution (and from
- the reviews I'm reading on this Trinitron monitor, two of these should make
- really nice double headed ND displays). While the topic is the Trinitron
- displays, has anyone noticed the tell-tale Trinitron horizontal dark scan line
- about 3/4 the way down the screen? If so, does it bug you or do you just sorta
- 'see around it'?
-
- About NeXT and their own hardware, though, I'm very curious what NeXT will do
- because I've got a Cube. Hearing from NeXT means an awful lot to us Cube
- owners and hearing that they won't be left in the dust next CPU upgrade would
- mean a lot. While you're at it, hearing that there will be affordable color
- (aka, not the price of a color station) would be a good way to keep us around
- for a spell.
