Jerry – one man's opinion… <g> That's a pretty tolerable list. Not much I'd change, except get 16Mb if you can swing it; probably another $350-400, but well worth it. Diamond Speedstar is a popular card. Make sure you get some display list software to go with it, like Vibrant's SoftEngine or Panacea's DLD. SVGA is good, .28 dot pitch is good, non-interlaced is good, 14" is NOT so good! I'd go for at least a 16 or 17" inch. Nanao's in that size are very popular here; others like IDEK. NEC's are so-so, although they have a new line that might be better than the 4D. 14" is just too small to sit and stare at intensely for hours on end. You might also want to consider a tape backup unit; 240Mb is on the large size for floppy backup. And an input device? Mouse or digitizer? How about a Kurta for the latter (mice only pay off if you've done a lot of customizing). Dave
