Oops.

I keep forgetting.  When it comes to any kind of display, (be it on a PC, laptop or \
TV) there are generally two kinds of people. Those who like displays that are BIG \
(that be me) and those who like displays that are really small. :)

I should have said "middle of the road resolutions are soooo 20th century".

On a related note, there are people who have netbooks *&* desktops with 30" monitors.

I just don't get small.  But I'm weird like that. :)
