I totally agree Neil. For my work I REALLY have to be hooked up to my Studio
Disp (crt, NOT lcd). Some of the people I work with in the financial sector
have older Dells, with crazy resolution settings (as high as 1600x1200 I
think?) Sure text may be a little less smooth compared to OSX on a Ti, but I
am not a writer so I don't care. The weak lcd resolution of the Ti/Al's is
pretty much my only sticking point. At least they have good graphics cards
that can drive external monitors very very well.

Is this a limitation of the type of lcd technology Apple uses? Or what?
