Hehe :-). Don't get me wrong, my *desktop* runs 1920x1200. Settling on 
less than 1600x1200 (which I swore I'd never do) was a concession to the 
fact that 1024x600 seems to be the *only* resolution available in 
netbooks, and I wanted a netbook. (It had a lot to do with the geekiness 
factor, the $300 price tag at a brick-and-mortar where I could walk out 
with it, and that my old laptop - 1600x1200, btw - was about to snap in 
two.) If I weren't buying a tiny computer, I'd insist on something with 
a much greater number of pixels. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't 
love my little eee anyway ;-).

As is, people have told me that the Asus' screen is too dang small. I 
happen to disagree :-) (probably similar to how I demand high resolution 
in my full-sized displays, even when "full-sized" is only 17").

I think mine is only 24" :-).
