Maybe somebody who knows a lot about CRT technology can answer a few
questions I've been wondering about...  How close are the color CRT's
used for suns, uVaxes, etc to the current state of the art?  (I'd
estimate they're about 80 dots per inch.)  How long will it be before
we start seeing 300 dpi color CRT's available?  Or are they already
available for very expensive machines?  How about LCD displays?  Is
there any theoretical reason for LCD's to be more or less suitable than
CRT's for such high-resolution displays?  (Is it even possible to make
multiple-color LCD's?)  Thanks in advance for the enlightenment,
