Most of the people at FileNet have large monitors. They started with Megascreen
on SEs. When I came they had graduated to Mac IIs and because of a SNAFU with
the dealer and bad Megascreen boards, we ended up with E-Machines. Because
the resolution is higher than most (85 dpi), the characters are much smaller
but they are crisp and mostly readable. 10 point Times on just about anything
looks horrible. The Adobe fonts help quite a bit here.

I run MultiFinder all the time (I couldn't imagine life without it -:)  
During the violent earthquake that was centered here the other day, I had
two Word documents and one SuperPaint document open. I held the Monitor 
down during the shaking and quickly saved all three documents as soon as
it stopped. (Try to think of a new document name at a time like that.)

The E-Machine monitor has had no incompatibilities that I've discovered.
Scroll speed must be 2 or more times better than the 13" color monitor I had
to use before the E-Machine came.

Many people like Radius, but there are some incompatibilities. I don't 
remember what they are, but many people on the net have talked about these.
I know the people with Megascreen can't use Quickeys, which I consider
about as essential as MultiFinder. (Well, actually, I haven't built any
new Quickeys since I started using MacroMaker.)

The monitor I'm waiting for is the new E-Machines Z-21 that has four
resolutions and lets you adjust the focus without taking the monitor
apart. Actually it's the card for the SE/30 that I'm waiting for. They
said last week that it was due to be shipped April 24.  One word of
warning: once you get used to working on a large monitor, you feel like
one hand is tied behind your back when you have to go back to the small
screen.
