I've never seen a DSTN screen that I liked, especially when it comes to rapid update of the display (e.g. scrolling down a Word document). TFT, in my opinion, is better than most monitors. As far as the keyboards go, the only advantage I could see with a Toshiba Tecra over the 760 I eventually bought was the keyboard seemed much nicer on the Toshiba. However, with use, the 760 keyboard has loosened up wonderfully and is now just perfect. Remember, of course, that for a relatively small sum, you can always attach an external keyboard. External monitors are a bit more pricey, and to be honest it has to be good to be as sharp as a TFT unless you prefer size over quality. Adam Britton | crocodilian@ibm.net
