I have a general question for the world out there.

Has anybody found and connected and extra large monochrome screen to
an ST.  Say about 19 inches or so.  I have been using a Sun workstation
at work and I really like having a large screen ( You can have just
about two page-width windows open on the screen at 1 time ).  I
have a color screen, but for some applications, i find that i would
prefer a monochrome.

Does anybody know what kind of hardware or software restrictions that
I might run into.  I figure that I will not be able to increase screen
resolution.  Will that restrict the amount of screen I can address
with a large screen?

I figure that I might switch to MINIX when it comes out.  Has anybody
thought about putting a graphic interface into MINIX like Sun has
done with Berkeley 4.2?  I know it's not fair to compare an ST to a
Sun 3/50 workstation, but after seeing their interface, i *really*
like it.

(Now if I only had multi-tasking too... ;^)=
