Who wants to use  Mac II as a TV?  That would be a very expensive TV!

The impression I get is that this isn't for 'really watching,' but
more for having on in the background so you can keep up on the baseball
game (or whatever) while you're doing something else (writing in Word,

for sportswriters and reviewers.  They could watch and write all on their
Mac screen.)
