Quote: Some of us can see. I'm running 1400x1050 on a 14.1" display, with default font sizes, and I could stand for the resolution to be higher in certain instances, but all in all, it's about right.
Exactly. 1400x1050 on a 14.1 display is just about right. I don't want to be able to resolve individual pixels, and I really like being able to see windows behind my non full screened firefox window.
I remember years ago a friend of mine telling me how her brother had driven an hour to san jose and back to buy "this thing that let him make the icons really small". How this day in age "making the icons really small" is apple's worry seems to be the exact opposite of what I'd expect.
An interesting usenet post I found said that classic apps don't have any way to change the resolution, which what what was holding Apple back. I don't know the truth of the matter, as Apple rumors are about a dime a dozen.
Perhaps I'll try and wait for the next powerbook revision before making any decisions, otherwise I'll Be Gettin' A Dell.
