- The address is correct but there were problems with my mail server - sorry!
- But I have several accounts so I`ll use a different one this time and pray
- that it will work. hehe

- That`s the point! When I run a high resolution on a 21`` monitor it is
- more readable than the same on a 17`` monitor. Right?
- And a monitor is an investment for a long time.

- The Sonyview does 135Mhz Pixel Clock. So I will get 75Hz at 1280*1024?

- Does anybody know some facts or rumors about the `CyberVision Pro` that
- will follow the CyberVision64?
