->As much as I like the windowed environments available to me at work,
->(Sunview, Xwindows), I almost never use them.  Why?  I don't like the idea
->of sitting two feet in front of a 25" monitor.  After the machine is set
->up and if I'm not using the floppies/tape drives, I retreat back to my office
->and access the beast from my friendly PC via the serial port.  I'm not sure
->which bothers me more from the large monitors -- the high-frequency sound
->(which I can hear and directly feel) or the electromagnetic fields (which I
->can't, but are getting more and more famous as each new "Currents of Death"
->book comes out).
