I think the majority of people would upgrade to LCD's if the prices were 
lower, I know I wouldn't mind having a 17 inch one but I'll live with my CRT 
which seems to work better then the new ones comming out. While I'm on the 
topic has anyone else noticed the quality on the new CRT's going down, my 
sister and the school all got new ones within this year and the display has 
what could best be described as an off centred ghost of whatever happens to 
be on the screen.

The link didn't work, were you pointing at one of the Apple notebooks or the 
new G5 iMac? The new iMac looks nice but I'd personally opt for portability 
since I wouldn't mind being able to work on my programs and homework sitting 
more comfortably or even just outside in the back yard during a nice quiet 
day, if Mac OS has the same button ordering as the new GTK though then I 
wouldn't go near it with a 10 foot pole.
