Subject: Screens
It is like having the best of both worlds though, with the full-size keyboard, monitor
and mouse when I'm at my desk. And the LCD screen doesn't get any hours on it this way
as it is blanked automatically when using the external monitor port or closing the lid.
I've used the 100 and 110's as my only computers using the 2 kinds of port replicators
(docks) ever since the 100 first came out. I use the PS/2 port for the keyboard and
the serial port for the mouse when using the non-intelligent dock. The monitor-out
port works very well on both docks. The enhanced dock doesn't work very well with my
110 for some reason. So much for enhancements.
What I have learned using W95 on the 100 and W98SE on the 110 is that neither likes
the suspend, resume, or any other shortcut to undocking. They ultimately result in
having to reset the machine, if not after the first cycle, surely after a few times.
The only thing that I've found that works reliably time after time is simply to shut
down the computer prior to undocking, then go through the whole normal rebooting
process again once you have taken it out of the dock. This is kind of a pain though
and I'd appreciate any tips you all could offer on this topic. I'm using BIOS 7.30 on
my 110 with W98SE if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
I know of the limited life of LCDs in general but, considering the thread I
thought the screens on the Librettos were more failure prone. Still, maybe I
should think about a monitor for when I use it at home in the office. A few
dollars now may save a lot of grief a few years down the road. I do expect
to keep this puppy around longer than most of my other computers past or
present. Best PDA, meeting memo master, notebook, legal research tool I've

Depends on what conditions you use it in. About 1000-5000 hours for most
LCD
panels before the light diminishes to 50% brightness, which you can then
replace. The LCD panel itself will last decades if not exposed to extreme
temperatures and if it's not exposed to direct sunlight for hours on end
(any
and all direct sunlight exposure of LCD anything - watches, laptops, etc -
will
eventually result in darkening and failure of the display.)
