One of the true pleasures of using a full page display was the ability to write and view a full page of text in MS Word (or MacWrite ...or whatever WP you favored), without having to scroll around on the screen. I *loved* using an FPD for that reason alone ...I didn't understand just _how_ much I'd come to appreciate how simply **efficient** writing was without having to scroll all around a page, until that old Lapis (display) died on me one sad day.
I keep looking for an old FPD around here, in the thrift stores (the sucker weighed a tad over 50 lbs AIR) ...I'd *make room* on my desk for one (yes, I still use the SE30 for writing chores & such) ...at which time I guess I'll have to find the relevant vid' card. --- brandon davis --- -- sacramento, ca -- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2003 13:57:54 +0100 Subject: Re: SE/30 questions (monitor and screws) From: Phil Beesley ...When new, compact Macs with big displays were popular for creating drawings, artwork etc. When the job was ready, the owner could unhook the Mac and take it to their bureau to print it out from the Mac that had the appropriate software and fonts installed. The SE/30 is still useful for similar applications today. Phil --- http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
