How about smashing it to pieces with a sledgehammer? You could sell hits to NeXT owners that bought the same 17" piece of junk display. Make a video of the event and send it to Steve Jobs. Maybe NeXT will get the message. It the mean time, don't be a fool and purchase another 17" NeXT color display. Purchase a nice 3rd party unit - we love our Nanao T560i units. They are much, much better than NeXT's current offerings, even though they aren't painted black. -- Nathan Janette "I'm a NeXTstep man, Dept MB&B, Yale Univ I'm a NeXTcube guy" New Haven, CT nathan@laplace.biology.yale.edu (NeXT)
