[ltp] 13.7" or 14.1"

[Bruce Cowan]

Huh?? I really like my 21" monitor attached to my TP770x. It is
much nicer to look at when I'm sitting at my desk than the 13.7"
TP screen. But of course when I'm not at my desk, I love having
the 13.7" high resolution screen.

Just my personal opinion: A tp770{x,z} with a 1280x1024 display
doesn't deserve to be attached to anything else than a LAN. Neither
should there be any connector to attach an external keyboard or mouse
nor a monitor. What should be done instead, is integrating a real
(non-mwave) modem and a 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet adapter. I hate these
external 'media couplers'.
