From: Rich on 9 Nov 2009 13:32 LCD's are dinosaurs. They've been around for over 30 years. Isn't it time they started working on a better technology (flexible, portable, less fragile?) to promote the replacement of books with? For God's sakes, computer screens aren't even vertical, they're still mostly horizontally oriented and books (in 99% of the cases) are not. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/09/apple.tablet.jobs/index.html

Almost all computer screen I've seen in the past 30 years are vertical or near vertical (often at a 10-20 degree angle). Horizontal screens are common only in tablet PCs and in special appliations, e.g. a monitor built into a table. And that's quite logical if you think about it. After all you have to bend over to see a horizontal screen which in general is much less ergonomic than looking straight ahead at a vertical or almost vertical screen. Not to mention that I certainly don't want a horizontal screen take up valueable space on my desk. jue

You stole the reply that I was too embarrassed to post. Nice one. -- YOP... |
