I was in there talking to them about desktop publishing systems for a proposal I am working on and saw a great monocrome display (19") with wonderful resolution. I asked about it and Becky (one of the owners) told me it was real new but she used it for DTP work. It was $1800 for the monitor, card for the computer and a TOS upgrade installed. If you don't find info elsewhere, I am sure she would be willing to tell you the facts behind these rumors. The store is Cave Creek Computers and the number is 206-783-0933. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc.
