No, No, No. You still have it wrong. If your monitor is monochrome 
inclusive-or less than 16" diagonal measure inclusive-or has a dot-pitch
greater than 0.31mm incusive-or the display adaptor has less than 0.75 
megapixels inclusive-or your computer takes more than 0.2 seconds to 
completely redraw it, you have a toy. Real workstations have at LEAST a 
16" color monitor with no more than a .31mm dot pitch on which is dispayled
at least 0.75 megapixels than can be redrawn in under 0.2sec; real engineering
workstations have at LEAST a 19" color monitor with no more than a .28mm dot 
pitch displaying at least a megapixel that can be redrawn in 0.1sec (altho
an exemption is granted to the last if you are running X-windows).

After all, the monitor IS the computer, really. That's why they cost so
much more than the same size TV, right ?

Sure I'm serious about this. Sure I am. Uh huh. Yepp. Really ! ;-)
