 One of the bright spots on the RFI horizon was the gift of an LCD

 "solid-state" trend I heartily support.
 
 
 It's a step in the right direction, but I'm going to wait. A few years
 ago I bought a small laptop with a ten inch screen. Within a few
 months, it had five or six dead pixels.
 
 The computer was still completely usable, but seeing those dead spots
 started to really bother me. A CRT will either work or not work, plus
 the colour rendition in Corel Draw and Photoshop is still superior to
 the LCD. That's  important to a lot of people
 
 I like the smaller depth of the LCD screen and the much lower power
 consumption, but I'll be waiting for a year or two yet before committing.
