[net.micro] Help, need thin terninal Info!!

Does anyone have information on a thin terminal product.  (Liquid Crystal
Display type?)  I am interested in a screen can be placed parallel (or
at a small inclination angle) to the table surface.  I have a bad neck
problem which seems to be aggravated by gazing at the conventional CRT.
A thin flat terminal may help me.  What I am looking for is a 80x25 screen
terminal, or a micro with a LCD monitor that can emulate a terminal.

  Why LCD?  If you really want a semi-horizontal display, then all you need
is a little carpentry.  Basically, get a terminal with a detached keyboard
and mount the monitor section in the recessed portion of a specially constructed
terminal desk.  Do with the keyboard what you wish.  It's hard for me to
describe these things totally, but I do recall that they were quite the rage
at IBM-Poughkeepsie when I was there 2 summers ago.  For most people, it was
a one-day project.
