Dear Apple:

I've heard many disconcerting rumors that the next generation Mac will
have a 12" diagonal screen.  This means that the effective vertical screen
size (11/1.414) is roughly 7".

Please (oh please oh please) give me a screen that can display 8.5 x 11!!!
I want to be able to see one complete page while I'm working in MacPaint,
MawWrite, or any other program for that matter!!  Even with editors,
its nice to be able to show two 24 x 80 windows, and have room left over!

I hope Apple hears this;  I'm planning to buy their next machine, but only
if it has a large enough screen.  I'd bet others feel the same as me.
