	Are the Viewsonic and Nanao made by the same manufacturer?
	Seems to me that my V7 has a higher refresh rate than 60Hz,
	although I may be imagining that.

	At any rate, your advice is well taken because some days 
	I just bloody _live_ at the tube.  14, 15 hours and more.
	So the res. is important.

	I'll prob'ly switch over to ctwm or whatever RSN because 
	I need more than a few xterms and having a virtual screen
	is getting old fast.

	Thanks much.

	gary
