There is a choice of ignoring the problem or doing some work that might make fixing it in future more probable. Using machines with nonfree BIOS and knowing that it's a problem that should be fixed and making it affect the choice of newer machines is imo better. (I don't consider 3d acceleration an important feature for me.) > Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the yellow-dot-problem only an > issue for laserprinters?

(The ThinkPenguin ones aren't called inkjet, although they probably are.)
