the information i've gotten so far has been pretty helpful. how about the
passive screen? for just taking notes, it seems like it might not be that
bad, and the lower desirability might result in lower prices on ebay. or is
it really that horrid? i've never had to live with a laptop (yet) and i dont
know how tiresome it would get in the long run. does the passive screen use
less juice because it has so many fewer resistors to power? and yes, the
library does have outlets, but i will have a few classes in a row (as many as
3 on some days) and i want it to last, without taking an extra batery. so my
basic question boils down to this: is the lower price and (possible) lessened
battery consumption totally offest by the crappy refresh rate in standard
applications? must be unbearable for games...
also, off topic, but hoping for help anyway: i ordered a board from
motherboards.com, and have waited over one month for it to come! what are my
rights in this situation? i have just found a neighborhood vendor that can
beat their price, and i can get it in under a week. can i cancel the order?
what if it's already shipped? pardon the seemingly silly question, but i
don't have much e-commerce experience!
