Yeah, I hear you. That is disappointing and I sympathize. I don't knock
colour, but the battery drain and the daylight issue are a big drawback for
me.
This reminds me of those funny ads where you see happy beautiful people on
the beach using their notebooks. Have you ever tried to use a notebook in
the bright sunlight, or even in the shade for that matter--the screen is
black and barely viewable if even at all. That's not even mentioning all
that sand and wind and grit and stuff flying around.
Whoops. Just realized that this is completely off topic for this mail
forum. My apologies to those of you cursing these messages.
