Just for the fun of it, I have a 1600x1200, or 1600:1200 or 16:9 or
4:3 screen on my Thinkpad t42p and don't think I could live without
it.  Others look at my screen and say that they can't see the
letters.  I sit (with my old man's trifocals) close enough that the
small text is clear and think the added information of a 250x100 text
window is worth sitting closer.
