Wow, what an amazing post. I have an IBM flat panel--I bought it for $1400, it had come down from $4000, about 10 months ago. It's equivalent to a 17 inch regular monitor. I would never go back to a regular monitor simply because there is no eyestrain with a high-end LCD display (there are some crappy ones still on the market, Viewsonic, for instance--which don't have high enough pixel resolution). It doesn't flicker at all, of course. And tho some scoff at this, I believe it's healthier if you spend many hours in front of the computer, as there is no cathode-ray radiation. Moreover, it is elegant and a spacesaver. As you probably know, Gateway, NEC, and now DELL are designing flat panel display computers with the ports in the display panel (thus no tower) and wireless keyboards. It definitely is the wave of the future, as Stan says, and I appreciate some investment guidelines in this arena. Thanx again.
