I'd like a PC similar to the workstations available a few years ago,
and the biggest problem seems to be finding a monitor that will do a
good job displaying lots of text.  What I'm looking for is

    1.  Size:  about 18 (or more) inches diagonal.

    2.  Monochrome.  (Color would be great if the dot pitch was about 0.12mm.)

    3.  At least 1024x768 resolution, and preferably higher.

Any suggestions?

Also, are there SVGA cards that allow you to use high resolutions in
*text* mode?  Graphics mode programming is a pain, and I suspect it is
slow in high resolution modes unless you get a graphics accellerator,
causing even more software headaches.
