but I wasn't trying in the post quoted below to argue about that. 
What I was trying to argue is that the Sony "Artisan Color Reference 
System" (GDM-C520K) has some stiff in-house competition from Sony's 
other high-end CRT, the GDM-F520.

This is irrelevant, of course, unless you think you might need or 
want a CRT. I don't, particularly, but then I also don't want to have 
to replace my video card, add an adapter, and worry about OS9 
compatibility issues. And I do want to be able to use my next monitor 
with the notebook I'd get to use with a digital camera. But that 
notebook would I think be the 12-inch PowerBook, and it's 
incompatible with the Apple (LCD) Cinema Displays. So ... :
