LEDs have a long life before they're completely dead but I hear a lot of folks complaining about the LED light bulbs getting dim pretty quickly. I just hope the issue doesn't spill over into monitors. But yeah I laugh when I hear about people that spent all kinds of money on a "fast" computer and they're squinting at a tiny screen or something trying to enjoy it. hehe Really when you're looking at a computer about all you're seeing is the screen! Look how fast Linux can be made to run on even an old 1GHz P3 http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2250/wedoct27bootchart.png 16 seconds is a boot time that Windows weenies could only dream about even on the fastest of PCs. That machine stock was 21 seconds. My i3 comes up in 5 seconds and a few thousandths stock. Needless to say I didn't even bother investing any time configuring it to improve its performance any. Though someday for laughs I just might :) On that machine I have it set for a single click to launch applications and things are on the screen before the mouse button is completely released. I have to say it took a little getting used to. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
