Is there a living person who owns a Cornerstone monitor and would care to
comment on its performance?

Specifically, I'm interested in the Cornerstone "DualPage" 19 inch display
for use with a Mac IIcx.

It offers gobs of pixels (1152 x 896) for a reasonable price, but I find that
no dealer in Seattle actually has one that it can show me.

Macworld May '89 gave it a generally favorable review but concluded that, if
money were not an issue, it would purchase a monitor costing several times as
much.  So who wouldn't?  But money IS an issue to me.

A very spiteful woman at Computer Era in NYC insisted only that this was such
an inferior product that they will no longer sell it.  Still, her general
demeanor leads me to discount the quality of her advice, and I'd like to
solicit opinions from Those Who Know.

When asking around here in the Seattle area, I got the feeling that computer
dealers didn't like Cornerstone, but I surely cannot say why.

Again, would anybody care to offer their experiences with their 19" display?

	thanks!
