As it was, Micro Do you have a followup on this? Did they find the guy and fire him? I thought FedEx had the best reputation for domestic delivery service. > tank.

These magazine reviews should be reporting dpi instead of subjective comments like being "too high." 800x600 on a 10.4" screen is 96 dpi, or about the same as 640x480 on a 8.5" screen (94 dpi). I don't recall any complaints about 8.5" screens being unreadable. Annoying maybe, but not unreadable. > At this point, it looks like I'm going to stick with the 720 I hope all you ex-Thinkpad people are telling IBM why you switched when you call to cancel your order. It's disgraceful that IBM took this long to even start to address the availability problem. I guess from their point of view, excessive demand is a "good" problem. > after using your machines for a while, and I would certainly be interested > in knowing of any Toshiba mailing list, or in participating in a Toshiba > splinter faction of the Thinkpad list. If there isn't a list, I don't see why you guys couldn't start one. The original rationale for this list was the high price of the TP750 and a desire to share info to get the most from our investments. (Sean Chou, the guy who put together the first list on my suggestion, now uses a Toshiba Portege 610. Maybe history can repeat itself? :) -- John H.
