     I've never used the 'Panasonic Senior Partners' so your comment above
does NOT apply to me. In fact the Macintosh is the first personal computer
I've used with any regularity and the point still remains. The screen is
too small. Even if YOU don't find the screen too small I can guarantee you
that MANY people do find this and if the name of the game is making your
customers happy and expanding your market, then Apple would do well by offering
the type of machine I indicated my earlier posting: modular with a larger
screen (and much cheaper than a Mac II!). Even though business is picking
up on the Mac I don't think that validates every aspect of the hardware.
