Can't be worse than my PB 12" screen.


Eh, yeah, it's like a thousand times worse. 

Sandman spends lots of money on PC, disses Intel, news at 11.

"Haha!"



I understand it's actually an
iBook 12" screen - it's horrible, particularly compared to my $999
Gateway's 15.2" screen.


The Dell has awful whitepoint and gamma. And there isn't a screen calibration tool in Windows!

No such thing as "screen calibration." You meant monitor calibration.



It takes some 6-10 seconds to wake from sleep! Thats awful! 

This was one of the most bizarre things about the above Toshiba -
you could re-boot the damn thing in the time it takes to wake it
from sleep.

It's astonishing. How can PC folk live with this?

We don't. We turn it on and it's unsuspended.


Which takes 6-10 seconds, not 1.8 seconds as it does on a mac laptop.


Stop the presses. Windows takes a few seconds more to wake from sleep (big whoop) so everybody is advised to chuck their laptops, forgo their investment in s/w and run like the wind to get a fabulous, trouble-free, G-d's-gift-to-Earth Macintosh.
