I second that motion of having a computer function as a computer. I had the opportunity when buying my latest laptop to go with something older and less capable, but having a decent screen resolution of 1920x1200 or a newer, more capable model with LESS resolution. Unfortunately, the FAD a television-like computer was far more important to the bean-counters than the stability of decent resolution. Not that I'm bitter, either! In the end I went with the higher-end newer model laptop. My Dell Alienware M18x is an excellent machine with the only real flaw was the loss of meaningfully invaluable screen real-estate. Sadly, it was done by Dell in the name of fashion and silly (in)conveinence, vice common-sense.
We are sadly in a minority. Too many people want 16:9 displays to watch their movies and crud and feel "cheated" if a 1080 movie gets letterboxed on a 1920x1200 monitor. This is the tyranny of the majority in action. There's not much we can do. We are massively outnumbered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
