I have a brand new laptop that I don't have to share with ANYbody... mine, mine, mine.... so I don't care how big it is -- but, how do you measure a computer screen... side to side, on the diagonal, what?

Mine's a 20" widescreen. Love it. Our (the wife's :D ) laptop has a 14" widescreen on it.

I went from a 17" CRT monitor to the 20". It was like seeing for the first time. [smilie=blush.gif]

it's the girth that matters... :wink:

That said, at home I have a 15" LCD (which is just fine for the space we have to keep it).

At work I have Bertha, the 22" old-school mongo screen. I work on a lot of documents and web sites at work and the bigger screen let's me see what pages will look like from everyone else's perspective so I know when I design pages they'll look good for everyone.

Hee hee :wink:

Here, I'll make you feel better...

There's a 17" laptop in the kitchen, a 17" flat panel all in one hooked up to my embroidery machine, my new laptop, the two main computers in the computer room with the 21" widescreens, and a 17" flat panel hooked to a terabyte machine that does nothing but download and do backups from the rest of the machines.

That should make you feel farrr less frivolous. :D

I can only see the top half of the tv screen if I'm sitting up in bed with it on my lap. It seriously looks like I might as well have a desktop sitting on top of me. :lol:
