Speaking of bad monitors...
I strongly advise against MAC II buyers buying the Mac II B&W monitor. I've
already gone through two, and have given up.
The reason that I got the B&W monitor is that Apple offered (to a few
universities) to provide FREE B&W monitors for those who ordered color monitors
and who would agree to delay receipt of the color monitor to 1/88.
Well, my first monitor crackled/poped. It was also badly aligned -- about
1/2 inch was on the top on the left side and about a 1/4 of an inch on the
right side. It also "streaked" -- the area to the right of any open window
was of a different shade than the same texture above and below.
My second monitor doesnt crackle. Also it's now only 3/8 on the left and
1/4 on the right. But it still streaks very badly.
I saw another persons B&W monitor -- same thing. I gave up. I sure wish
Apple had just sent my color monitor; these B&W ones are REAL #######.

ps: but the rest of the Mac is wonderful.... And _Real Soon Now_ A/UX.
