With that kind of high-quality output readily available in tandem with  
NeXTSTEP, is there any need for NeXT to support their own hardware?  I suspect  
NeXT's response to this would be to use a NeXTdimension board with two monitors  
so that you could double the resolution on at least one axis....sure, it would  
cost you the price of an ND board and another monitor, but you get the  
resolution....not the pixel density, but the part of the resolution (and from  
the reviews I'm reading on this Trinitron monitor, two of these should make  
really nice double headed ND displays).  While the topic is the Trinitron  
displays, has anyone noticed the tell-tale Trinitron horizontal dark scan line  
about 3/4 the way down the screen?  If so, does it bug you or do you just sorta  
'see around it'?

About NeXT and their own hardware, though, I'm very curious what NeXT will do  
because I've got a Cube.  Hearing from NeXT means an awful lot to us Cube  
owners and hearing that they won't be left in the dust next CPU upgrade would  
mean a lot.  While you're at it, hearing that there will be affordable color  
(aka, not the price of a color station) would be a good way to keep us around  
for a spell.
