Well, Zenith makes a very pretty VGA monitor. But it doesn't do SVGA, sigh.

I think a lot of Japanese companies do assembly in America. Their

I don't know, the consumer seems to have benefitted by Sony's purchase
of CBS (?) in that the copyguard crap seems to have died. With the

colorize movies than Mr. Turner.
