Hey all, I bought a a Duo 230 a couple of months ago. I was wondering what the life-expectancy for the screen is? I can't seem to find any info, so I'd thought I'd pose the question here. The Duo I bought seems to be in good shape. The screen on mine does show light areas when displaying a folder window. (Like when there is a white space in the folder title when it is open, the white extends all the way to the edge of the screen)--poor description, but maybe you know what I mean. I don't know if that is typical of these screens. I thought a passive matrix screen would bug me at first blush, but I have to say it really doesn't. I've been considering switching my computer focus. I have been using a desktop, but a portable would probably suit my needs better. Do any of you use a laptop as your main computer? If so, is your laptop computing experience a good experience.. or are there things you miss about using a desktop computer? I tend to use apps like spreadsheets, photoshop, graphing aids, general classroom stuff, and some games. I've been comparing iBooks and Powerbooks. I always run into that "well, I could use an extra feature or a bit more speed" game...and pretty soon I find myself in that $3000 + range. A G4 PB *would* be nice, but by the time I pay for it and for accessories, I've spent myself into oblivion. What kind of setups are some of you using? (If you don't mind sharing.)
