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

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.
