When I was a kid, I can the vacuum tube tester at the local Radio Shack. It
was as self-service machine with a bunch of tube sockets on the top.
My parents had an old David Bogen pre-amp with tubes (as part of a mono system)
and I used to find it frustrating to wait for the thing to warm up.

My company provides most employees with laptops. We are pressed to take
them home, 'tho I usually leave mine behind unless I need to take it
home. We all attach one or two LCD screens in the office. Tell your
brother to buy a monitor for his laptop, he should be able to find one
from HP or Dell
That doesn't help his situation..has he actually checked to see if he can
put a monitor on his desk? We are talking almost zero foot print...keyboard
mouse. It could increase his well being and productivity.

Is there some middle ground between snobs and destitute?
I'll admit that there are people so poor that they have to buy computers
like the one Lauren bought, but is that representative
Not every company has the extra cash necessary to operate this way.
Providing poor hardware to staff lowers staff productivity and increases
error rates. It makes staff tireder and less likely to get innovative
insights.
The poor hardware is probably losing the company 30 to 40 percent of each

Yes, but the middle ground appears to be named cheap. Consider the
number of people with high levels of debt and then the shrinking number
of jobs; personal computer buying appears to be at least 75% el-cheapo.

Is there some middle ground
Most graphic cards can run at least a moderately-large monitor. The
days when few PC laptops can do this are long-gone. Apple includes a
high-end graphics card in all but the low-end, but low-end cards will
drive a decent sized monitor.

Hooking up the conversion box was a snap once the antenna was built.
We are getting many channels through the HD box. Sadly, though, WETA
is not one of them. It is interesting to see what's coming over the
air, though. This may inspire us to investigate a bit more -- maybe
even dump
My only concern was the availability of the format. Istockphoto, for
example, looks like a lot of their stuff is .mov. We're going to be
drawing on a lot of pre-recorded clips.
It's fine to use .mov files, but since you use a Mac, iMovie will be
faster and easier than FCP.

Perhaps this does need to be explained to you, though I doubt it.
Apple's profit was not from computers; those sales actually fell.
Translation: Not good news for you.
MS's losses are indicative of the economy right now; very few
companies reported profits. Translation: Not good news for you.
Yup they make more profit as they are a direct to market seller, and
make profit on both the hardware and software.
MS make profit only on software and only on PC's sold.
Apple of course is more diversified so it make profit from more sectors.
Good for them of course.

At one time they would have been at the high middle.
I wouldn't put Denon or Onkyo in the same category as McIntosh.
BO is probably closer to Apple in design philosopy and market
niche, IMHO.
So you are saying apple is for elitist snobs?
Apple products are for people who want good quality

AAPL more diversified? Did MSFT close down a large part of the company
while I was not looking? This claim makes no sense at all. Someone who

No, but a keyboard sure is. And a screen big enough to read a word

It's the digital version of the analog VGA cable. For more info than

There is also a flavor of DVI cable that does VGA passthrough. Lots of

And we wonder why Apple is called elitist?
Apple already makes a better product in this category.
I suspect the reason Apple is even bothering to trash netbooks is because
they have a bigger iTouch in the works. Be sure to feign surprise when
you see it.

No, it isn't like that. AV doesn't count, nor does any of Windows itself

Considering what a netbook is intended for, limiting it to three open full

To say that a reduced-size version of a real keyboard is barely better
than a tiny touchscreen simulation of a keyboard is fantasy.
