We've gone around on this before; I still think it is a problem one has to
think about before committing to LCD.
BTW, is there any way run W95 in expanded mode on late-model Thinkpads? My
son has many windows-only games that insist on running in a 640x480 window,
whatever the screen's true resolution; this means that they are pretty small
when we play on the road on my laptop. I can't figure out how to expand,
like one can for DOS games.

This will be an improvement to look forward to.
