On a similar vein ... I have always been impressed by the Macs ability to 
handle a multihead display. Is there any way to do this in a PC and have
Windows recognize/handle both displays? From what I know about the PC hardware,
there are some severe restrictions. BUT, if an 8514/A type display can 
co-exist with a VGA card, why can't a Windows display driver allow both
the VGA and the 8514/A to be used at the same time. (Assuming that you had
two monitors.)
