I'm playing with Libranet 2.8 beta 2.  Looking good.

Might be worth your while to give it a whirl when it is released.

Look's like there will be a beta 3.  The beta testers are going to town,

and as a result a lot of polishing is going on.

Getting back on topic: I've been looking (i.e. staring) at LCD's at Best Buy etc.

I'm just not impressed with the clarity of the characters.  I guess they are intended

for people who like graphics, but for text work, a $120 17" CRT  has a sharper text display

than a $800 LCD of equivalent size.  Of course, I have not seen a  Sharp brand LCD.

These are supposed to be the ultimate LCD's.
