Thanks for the great writeup. That was the explanation I was looking for. I suspected that one reason was it would confuse most Windows users Particularly from you

Not that I'm saying it isn't true. I appropriated a Sony GDM-FW900 monitor for my dad's office about 3 years ago. It was a lovely $2000, 24-in widescreen, flat-screened monitor. A real behemoth but beautiful. It went to where it was needed most - at his desktop publishing station. Too bad the person working at it uses it at 1024x768. Some people don't deserve the equipment they get

And don't get me started on the one user in the office who got a 21" monitor after months of whining. She has hers set to 800x600. The icons are like as big as my fist
