I have a fancy doodle dandy LCD 20" and it is best at its native res in terms of sharpness and aesthetics... But there is much at this res that is a bit tiny for old eyes. I suppose if you have zoom features it would be ok, but all this zooming is surely a tiresome fiddle. I must say it looks easier on the eyes on Macs than on PCs. (I think I have been avoiding my new screen and battling on with my 3 CRTs because they are easier on the eyes...) David Elmo -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
