ike6116 asks: "According to Apple the 15" Apple Studio Display is still available, but when one clicks on Store and tries to select it with a system it is nowhere to be found. I ask you: Where have they gone to? Why have they left? Will they be back?"
I was looking on the Mac site and it like said there were displays available but I clicked on the link and it went beep beep beep andlike ate my display. Bummer.

I'll bet all the 15" displays have been removed from the warehouses because Hillary Rosen's crack team of technologists and lint-pickers have discovered that these sized displays are actually *perfect* for view movies on in proper aspect ratio, and thus are a violation of the DMCA.
Or maybe these screens are featured in the next Star Wars movie and Lucas' has had Jobs' over for dinner again to remind him about that whole 'clone wars' argument.
Oh, oh wait, I know... *TERRORISTS* are stockpiling them to make a Beowoulf out of the LCD controller chips in a canny attempt at foiling the FBI, who aren't sure about anything that doesn't run on the federally approved standard MS INtel chips.
Aliens? Okay, no, that's weak. How about Bill Clinton?!! I'm sure he has something to do with it...

A few thoughts -- there *have* to be existing ssh clients -- I remember BetterTelnet and similar for classic Mac OS.
Is it possible to set up an ssh server, then set up an SSH client that's scripted to ssh into the local machine? A bit of a hack, but as long as you aren't opening tons of terminals, it should provide you with a more reasonable environment without a tremendous amount of work on your part.
Your point about xdvi is well-taken too. Why is xdvi so much faster than gv? Is it *that* much easier to render DVIs than postscript files? Second, I'd suggest rxvt over xterm. Rxvt is the end-all be-all of terminals. It's extremely fast (try catting 50 megs of text in a couple terminals and time it -- it'll win), very lightweight (less RAM usage than any other terminal I know of) and has all the features anyone could possibly use. Oh, and it lets you compile out features that you definitely aren't going to use during runtime. Nice bit of software.
It's not available!

This is nothing new - the 15" Studio LCD has not been available for quite some time. Three comments come to mind: - maybe they need them for the G4 iMac - maybe they need them for a new tablet Mac - this is just one more nail in the coffin of the CRT

They've been saying this for months Apple 15" LCD No Longer Available.
