I already know about the wide form factor offerings. That was not the issue.
What is low intensity? For CAD or any other purpose CRTs are finer resolution. Nothing can beat illuminated pixels. Backlit LCD is lame from any refined display POV.
And forget them for gaming.
Plasma? Plasma is lame, grainy bullshit. From a distance, it is fine, but up close, in your living room, it is quite lame.
With laptop video at the low point that it is at in comparison to desktops, I'd say that 1600x1200 would be near impossible to game with on a laptop.
BTW, the IBM OLED is 19 million pixels. Tat runs at 24 Hz at full resolution. The target market is the movie industry.
You have been making that "forged" claim for a long time.. funny thing, there is a guy with your name and your limited vocabulary and same grandiose claims with the same name.....forged???.....get a clue ya alt.drugs.pot poster!
Now inbetween posting that you used in this post is also ok with me and I do that a lot when there are specific points to answere one at a time. In fact i do it most of the time.
There are *dozens* of available guides to appropriate Usenet posting. Some are better than others, some are worthless.
In that last catagory, IMHO, are guides written by people who clearly don't understand it themselves. But, alas, also included are guides based on what Usenet was 10-15 years ago. Hence while Chug Von Rospach and Brad Templeton wrote some good advice (try googling those names), it doesn't necessarily apply to the Usenet that exists today.
Which makes it somewhat difficult for a person in your position, because for virtually every "correct" guide there are also one or more available which are contradictary (and someone will no doubt find them and suggest they are right). Wonderful, eh?
But, for top posting, you'll find the original reasons are still valid, and they are universally agreed to in the better written guides to Usenet etiquette (commonly called "netiquette").
This one does seem to be pretty good.

For advice on top/bottom posting, click on the "The Seven Don'ts of Usenet" and see item 3,
*Don't quote more than a few lines.* If your newsreader includes a copy of the original article when you start to write a followup, delete everything except a few key lines which are relevant to your comments. And put /your/ text /after/ the quoted text. _You_ _should_ _include_ /some/ _indication_ _of_ _what_ _you_ _are_ _responding_ _to_[1]; either quote a key sentence, or explain with your own words what you are commenting on. (E.g. "I understood NN's question so that he asked how to construct a perpetuum mobile.") For more info, see _How_ _do_ _I_ _quote_ _correctly_ _in_ _Usenet?_"[2]

Note that item 2 above is an *excellent* article on the why's and why not's of top and bottom posting.

You *are* using Usenet. You've posted an article to alt.engineering.electrical, which is part of Usenet in (almost) any way you want to define it. Whatever made you think you weren't using Usenet, isn't quite right! If you want to find out why not, explain more about what you meant (and then get out your asbestos jump suit, because in this newsgroup there are more children than in New York City's larged kindergarten, but if you can ignore the kids, we can probably define Usenet for you in better terms than you understand at the moment).
For a moment there I thought you were referring to our double-bagger...errr....anyone care to wager who that might be??? (hint: It starts with Dark and ends with asshole)!!
