[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac Portables with big screens

 In the most recent MacUser, I came across 3 companies which support large
 screens for the Mac Portable.  Has anybody had any experience with these
 companies or products: Aura, Scuzzigraph, RealTech.  Also has anybody tried
 a large screen with a Portable other than the ones I found?

 My current setup biases me towards the Scuzzigraph since I have the PSI
 memory board plugged into my PDS slot and the other two big screen
 solutions require a board to plug into the PDS slot.

 The last comment I'd like to make is that I find the sleep mode very useful
 since I work in two places (sometimes the system doesn't need rebooting for a
 week!).  From what I understand, if I have an external screen plugged into
 the Portable and I wish to unplug it to go to my other place of work, I need
 to shutdown the machine.  Why is this necessary?

Any answers appreciated,
Rob
