    No one mentioned the C-Vue LCD display. It looks identical to the
Apple LCD, although the screen size may have been just a tad bit larger 
and it was apparently easier to view. Unlike the Apple display though,
it required a separate stand that had to be permanently attached to the
back end of the IIc (whereas the Apple one had a fold-out stand that
allowed it to fit closer to the keyboard end).

    I own one, although I've never seen it in operation. I sent it out
for repairs and it should be arriving back any day now, should make an
interesting companion for my Apple IIc Plus. :)
