Well, it's hard to say what will be available when it comes time to replace your 4:3 20" LCD monitor. But for now there appears to still be a few 4:3 monitors, and a 5:4 which I got my eye on, avail by HP, Viewsonic, Dell, LG on Pricewatch, pacificgeek, tigerdirect at some pretty good prices. I also think there'll be a pretty good used market as people unload their older unwanted 3:4 monitors off in favor of the new widescreen. Besides who uses a computer for anything other than watching videos... :-( _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
