there are at least two missed points in the discussion on using pc's
as xterminals.
- it is difficut to impossible to get 17" or 19" black and white
monitors for a pc.
they should also have a sharp? image and about 1165 x 900 dots
resolution.
looks like i have to buy an xterminal to run X on my linux box.
- xterminals don't make any noise. my pc is still too noisy after
replacing the fan.

p.s. yes, i can run X on my 14" color monitor, even 1024 x 768 non
interlaced. but only 640 x 480 at 25 MHz gives a somewhat
reasonable image. everything else is blurred, at least in
horizontal direction (even 640 x 480 at 28 MHz).
