I believe that the amiga may be losing ground to the MAC
and IBM crowd, but only due to the low color resolution, 
and only in the graphics/OS area.   Personally, I want high res
graphics, I really don't give a flying pixel about animation.
However, I do not see what I want coming out of the Mac nd
IBM market either.  What I see is more possibility out of this
market.  

However, the Hedley monitor shows extreme promise.  I would just like
to see it better.   This may not be possible with the current chip set
of the Amiga.   In order for me to consider a monochrome monitor
I want to see 1024x1024 or better (preferably better).    Grey
scale is a good thing though, making the Hedley a possibilty.

By the By, would someone mail me with a fairly detailed description
of how the monitor would work and hook up to an Ami 1000?  Questions
in particular are:
	Can I still use my color monitor at the same time?
		(sort of like control with color, draw on mono)

thanks much

PS.
	I fully realize the amiga was not completely designed
	as a work station, but this is where it is being compared.
	I will probably still own my amiga 1000 until it dies.
