  1. Relax....no big deal on Collapsible LCD Screens · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is similar to the Samsung SyncMaster 172T, where the stand and monitor fold together (flat) for wall mounting, easy tote, NEC is just playing catch up, etc.

    Doesn't mean the screen folds in half...sorry.

    From Toms...

    NEC today announced its first line of light-weight LCD monitors that fold up for easy portability. Attractively designed for home users and gamers on the go, the new monitors provide a protective black bezel acrylic screen with flexible silver cabinet and stand that adjust to a variety of angles including flat against its base. "Providing consumers with the freedom to easily carry their monitor around, the new units collapse into small packages that weigh only 8.6 lbs for the NEC LCD1565 and 13.2 lbs for the NEC LCD1765. Built to withstand wear and tear, the durable acrylic screen displays 88 pixels per inch on the 15-inch unit and 96 pixels per inch on the 17-inch unit for continually clear, accurate images even after years of use." Coupled with a small form-factor PC, this looks to be the ideal monitor-type for those that frequently attend LAN parties.

    Niue's parents have reportedly contacted a mainland attorney to disuss what action can be taken against the current administration. "We only hope that no one else has to face this kind of tragedy in the future.", said Niue's Mother, Siue.

    Given the lack of feature comparison between your $30 WLAN router $20 wireless card, and Apple goods, you'll allow me to further the logic (?) and consider the amount of labor involved.

    What you may or may not save in hardware, can easily be washed away in time. Finding an approriate set of drivers, etc. It all adds up, and as usual, easily overlooked. Not much benefit when those costs are factored in.

    For some guys, this is as close as they will ever get.

    And...there was this one enterprising guy that used to buy panties off the local high school girls, and then package them, sealed fresh, along with a signed Polaroid.

    He'd put twenty or so 'packages' inside one of those little coin machines where you use the crane-claw to try to grab things, like toy cars or stuffed animals, etc. Arcade parlors...what an experience...DDR and Whack-a-mole and shrink-wrapped gifts from the other side. Caffeine chewing gum and 142 decibels of the GiriGiri Girls around the clock.

    The neighborhood moms got upset over all the disappearing underwear, and how the family clothing budgets were being torn to shreds. They formed a militia and found him out and complained to the police.

    The police were sympathetic, but they could find no law that was being broken, so they couldn't drag him in...until, they got smart, and charged him with selling antiques without a license. If you've tried to market swords in Japan, you know this is a big no-no.

    Their need to live in an otherwise confined environment results in high efficiency products.

    Their natural inclination to control the world around them (bonsai, anyone?) leads them to always push the envelope.
