Gateway is known to use relabeled (with the gateway logo) Digital Research monitors.

I don't see *any* 21" monitors (a few 20.1" tho); and none above 1280x1024 (except for SGI's). I'm not doubting you; I just want to know more. :) <rant> are other people out there annoyed like me, at the lack of progress the monitor companies have made towards bigger desktops? I'm sure there's some real engineering problems with building high-res CRTs bigger than 21"; and flat panel yields probably drop off exponentially with larger sizes; but it's like they aren't even *trying*. I've seen at least one company welding 4 flat panels seamlessly together; but they were only using 640x480 panels. is there a conspiracy among the monitor companies to keep us cramped on these tiny 'airplane trays'? ('desktop' is a bit too generous a term most of the time). ;> </rant> Carl Soderstrom _________________________________________ Systems Administrator 307 Brighton Ave. Minnesota DHIA Buffalo, MN carls at agritech.com (763) 682-1091 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
