800x600 12.1-inch (diagonal) built-in TFT SVGA active-matrix display, offering 640- by 480-pixel and 800- by 600-pixel resolution with millions of colors ============== I can't understand this, 1024 should be easily doable on a 12.1 display.

Here are my notes from watching Steve's keynote address on Quicktime: QT-TV, with new content from ABC News, ESPN, ..., Disney Sherlock 2 to be included in MacOS 9 (October 1999) Features: a more powerful Internet search tool, now allowing data-type specific searches with corresponding fields. E.g. type in the name of a book or CD and Sherlock 2 reports all e-commerce sources along with pricing & availability fields. Other searchable data types: information, news, people (i.e. email & home page info.) 1.9 million iMacs sold since intro. in August 1998 25 USB peripherals avail. as of Aug. '98. 125 avail. now. ~4000 new software titles (including upgrades) since Aug. '98 ...including games (demo'd Halo from Bungie---very slick 3-D graphics world) (Jobs mentioned going to game developers and letting them "beat us up". Result: adoption of OpenGL software and fast 3-D hardware in Macintosh) IBM announced ViaVoice voice-recognition for the MacOS. iBook specs for $1599 (shipping in Sept. '99) you get: 12.1" TFT (active matrix) display with 800 x 600 resolution ATI Rage graphics card, 4MB VRAM 300MHz G3 processor 24X CD-ROM 32M RAM (upgradeable to 160MB) 3.2GB hard drive (not sure of the size here) 56K modem USB port (one of them, I think) 10/100 Ethernet Full size keyboard 6 hour battery life case looked very stylish and durable (the tangerine/blue material is rubber); has a handle for easy carrying
