[Ti] Poll 19

[Kynan Shook]

Nope.  I'm gonna agree with Richard here.  You want the pixel density 
to be as high as possible, without requiring you to either enlarge text 
or reduce the resolution setting so that you can read on-screen text.  
I already know a very large number of people (my father, for instance) 
who always use the Ti or other PowerBook at a lower-than-optimal 
resolution, such as 800x600.  These aren't even people with bad 
eyesight; maybe in the middle-aged crowd, sure, but it's not just 
restricted to a few grandparents here and there.

It is significantly better to have, say, a 1024x768 screen used at that 
resolution, than to have a 1600x1200 screen used at 1024x768, as it 
will be much more fuzzy.  Already, Apple displays are usually in the 
90-105 ppi range, which I think is about right for most people to be 
able to read the display without having to change the resolution, which 
makes it *much* worse.

I do, however, think they should increase the resolution on the 14" 
iBook, and I told them such in a conference call a few weeks ago.
