New Toy

**Will** · 06-10-2006, 07:32 PM

I'm currently looking at the forum through my new widescreen laptop, which can do pretty much anything. I'm going to get it to make me dinner shortly. I'm dead chuffed and thought I'd share the joy.

The best part was I got it £800 cheaper then it's retail price. I'll posts the link I used to get it later.

Must dash though, I've already been invited to a posh party ten minutes after hitting the power button for the first time.

What a terrible decision to make. Turning off the power button of your new toy! Looks like the

won this one.

I have a widescreen laptop. They're great

I don't like widescreen, it's illogical, it's not the ideal viewing size for the human eye, but hey, if people are told it is they believe it is. Anything to sell something new.

Not sure what you mean, we see things in widescreen after all.

I seem to remember that my wee Acorn A4000 had a 12 inch monitor... now, if I look at a monitor that size it seems the size of a postage stamp. Whatever size or width screen we have I guess you get used to it.
