I don't have a floppy drive in my household. My PowerMac doesn't even have a place for one (don't think the powermac range has done for quite some time ).

They do - take a look at HP's 24" widescreen it uses an LG SIPS panel.


If HK-47 and GLaDOS had a child, the character they create would cause the video game world to overdose on awesome. -sheridanmovieguy: Dragon age forum user.

I don't watch that many DVD's (though I do watch some) on my box, but having a widescreen display would be more then worth it to me for the extra screen space alone. That and they look sexy compared to the "square" look.
