Objections :-). I once read a test of a CAD workstation (PC hardware)
which had a monitor with an 28" tube which might give some 26" or 27"
usable screen. That thing almost looked like one of those TVs of the 70s,
you know that round edge stuff. Weird. And expensive. The thing cost
something like 30.000DM (~15,000US$) at the time (computer + monitor).
