In which case absolutely avoid Os X -- and continue to avoid it for at
least six months after QuarkXpress 6 eventually appears, complete with

Take a look at Formac LCDs. They are better than Apple's in some ways, eg
work fine with Os 9, more screen estate, allegedly more contrast, cheaper
... but not as robust nor as beautiful.
