Remember back in the old days, when someone used to say "17 inch monitor" even though you could only see 15 inches of picture? Then they passed a law saying that's false advertising and they must publish the viewable area, not the picture tube size.

Ha - that's funny, just yesterday the ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) in the UK finally put paid to this practice on this side of the pond.

Yes, up until May 1st computer firms will still be able to do this....

The ASA are going after the TV companies next - roll on!

Funny co-incidence.

Cheers,
