Mirasol/Iridigm looks like a total winner. I would take black and white on my laptop too [one of them anyway - the little EeePC which is my out and about cyberspace device]. TV used to be black and white, as did movies, and they were fine. "Schindlers List" was filmed in black and white deliberately and it was great. The two huge benefits of Mirasol are battery life and the screen is visible outdoors. Either of those is enough. A double whammy is great. Many laptop and related advertisements show people sitting around swimming pools, on beaches, in parks, on farms and all sorts of outdoors places. Yes, it would be great to see cyberspace outdoors, but it doesn't work. Screens are not visible in bright light. I have to go and hide under a shady place and then the screen is hardly visible either. It would be great to be able to see the screen easily while sitting in a car and it would be great to spend hours in aircraft connected to cyberspace and not have the battery go flat. It's absurd that we are well into the 21st century and airlines are still struggling with the concept of people being connected to cyberspace while flying. They haven't even figured out how to offer regular cellphone service. Pathetic. Mirasol is going to be a huge success from what I have seen. If they can do colour at reasonable cost too, then the profits will be vast. Batteries lasting for ages, seeing the screen outside - everyone wants that. Mqurice
