my Toshiba has an 18.4" screen. I'm old and my eyes like it! So there!
it only weighs 9 lbs. But my weight approaches 300 so what's that?
on the Jobs thing, I'm sorry to hear of anyone's passing, but what did the guy
really accomplish apart from his marketing? Please, the Atari ST was a better computer
then the original Mac. And 40% the cost. The iphone is a cell phone and a palm pilot
mashed together.

Quite frankly, anything over a 13" laptop in my
opinion is no longer a
latop, its a fold up desktop computer....? some
of these 17" "laptops"
are just insane, you might as well be lugging a
Compaq
SLT around with you.
IIRC< the Amstrad PPC machines (which had a tiny LCD
dispaly, about 6"
diagonal) were actually wider than a PDP11 front panel.
Some laptop...
