Post #139,546 by tuberculosis 2/3/04 10:18:28 AM Reply	Suspicious of life expectancies I've been using laptops mostly for the last 4 years. I've had 3 of them. I notice that, when new they are bright and crisp and white, but after about a year of heavy use, the picture starts to fade and yellow a bit. Which makes me think the longevity of the flat panel display technology isn't so hot. Its OK on a laptop, you need to upagrade by the time the screen gets weak anyhow, but desktop monitors should last a lot longer. This is the principle reason I haven't splurged for an Apple Cinema - I'd like to see one thats been in service for 3 years and compare it to a new one to see how it looks. .....To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone -- to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: .....From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink -- greetings! -- George Orwell, 1984

They should know. thanx, bill I do hold an englishman's brothel is his castle , where he should behave accordingly--as many flash tails as he likes , but none of the troop fornications that the orientals and germans indulge in. Its not the indecency I mind , but the company of a lot of boozy brutes hallooing and kicking up a deuce of a row when I want to concentrate and give off my best. A regular bacchanalia is something to see right enough, but I am with the discriminating Frog who said that one is interesting, but only a cad would make a habit of it.
