Unlike most of the/. crowd, I have a lot of faith in the Bush administration to not abuse any information gathering system. Yes, I know the Clinton crew gathered hundreds of FBI files on its Republican adversaries, but we're dealing with a far more upstanding administration now. In this time of terrorism, I'm scared enough to allow the government a bit of latitude in its security efforts.
What I am concerned about is the longevity of the system. Like any government program, once it's in place it will be almost impossible to get rid of. Once the threat of terrorism has subsided (hopefully, we'll live to see that day), there needs to be a mechanism to shut down any systems that are inappropriate during peacetime. I don't trust future administrations or lawmakers to do that on their own.
Interestingly, it is file-compatible with the Mac version, AccountEdge.

I don't think you understand that I was expressing my opinion.
In my opinion, and in the opinion of many others, there is no diminishment in enjoyment of gaming on an LCD vs. a CRT. I see no appreciable ghosting or blurring on my LCD. Therefore, to me and many others (judging from other discussions I have read about this issue), LCDs with fast pixel response times are, indeed, plenty good.
Needless to say, anyone contemplating an LCD purchase for use with fast games needs to see it in person and judge for themselves.

"The screen update times still aren't fast enough for gamers, but they still are ever so delicious."
Just to set the record straight, many people, myself included, have found that update times less than 30 ms are plenty good for even the fastest games (UT2003 springs to mind). My 15" KDS is excellent for gaming -- I can't imagine ever going back to a CRT.
