I tried to send the following message earlier but our mailer here was
greatly $##$$%% and NO postnews articles got out at all. Now (???) the
system is properly so here goes agaqin

I am the proud (power, lust, greed, joy, etc. ) new owner of a Mac IIx with
an Apple 21" moniter. After 5 years of the old Mac screen, this BIG screen
is awesome.

What I would like to know is what utilities - screen savers, finder
replacements
, etc people on the net have found useful in this Large environment. What
screen "strategies" save mouse wear and tear?

I've already installed Larry Rosenstein's Application menu and that is indeed
a
treat!! Thanks Larry. Has anyone extended this to the whole menu bar?

One point that Word better fix in 4.0 is their horrible use of the large
screen and their documents inability to remember old screen positions. (Unless
I missed t~rhis in the documentation :-))

I realize that these things have been discussed before but then my envy stopped
me from saving the comments. To save cluttering this group, comments can be
E-mailed to me and I'll summarize for the net.

BTW: I've noticed no flicker in the monitor, but have no competing electronic
equipment near by.

I now have Word 4.0: +10 for tables, -15 for their user interface.
