I'm just suprised that they have 1024*768 on an LCD now - I think 800*600 is
good enough for me, and I'm just so used to using 12" CRTs (the 10.4" on my 701
is equivalent to the viewing area of these 2 CRTs) at 640*480.  Plus, I heard rumors
a while back that eventually notebooks would become laptops again where you
could only power on from a AC socket.  That idea is dumb IMO, though, because
I could just as easily take my desktop with me (and I have, too).
