Wow this is the thread for long-dead UUG alumns to come out of the word-work! Sadly most people just consume media on their computers these days, so the cheap TV panels have taken over the entire industry like a plague. With a large monitor I don't mind as much, since I can do two vim windows side-by-side. But having a screen with a lower resolution (DPI) than I had back in 1999 is pretty pathetic, really. Also I'm always amused by people who maximize their web browsers on wide-screen monitors. Cracks me up. Some companies, like MS and Apple have embraced the widescreen idea with full-screen apps and layouts that stretch across the screen. With Outlook you basically have to full-screen the thing now. Progress is sure strange. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
