Ah, but he said "16x12" not "16:12".  But I think Mr. Wyrwa knows about 
aspect ratios...

The reason I didn't go for a higher-resolution display when I picked out 
my Thinkpad was that I figured that while a piece of dust (bigger than a 
1600x1200 pixel, smaller than a 1024x768 pixel) would get ignored on my 
display but wouldn't on a higher resolution one, making dead pixels more 
likely.  What's the mean number of dead pixels on 1600x1200 laptop 
displays, and how many does it take for IBM to consider it faulty?
