   Yes.

   X is bloated and slow, to the point where OS/2 seems speedy in
comparison.  (But I do run OS/2 on a 14" tube, and it's perfectly
respectable.)  And X fonts suck.

  What do you use yours for?  I use it for work and recreation, and
given the choice between a spiffy 19" mono tube on a Mac and the
little 14" VGA monitor on gehenna, I'll take the 14" VGA, since the
bulk of the stuff I'm working on is text.

                  \/           justify buying a k-k00l graphics tube.
