Smaller monitors are a different story. They would look fine, perhaps great, on a 27" CRT.

The biggest problem here is the selection. I've found very few popular releases in 'watch now.' It seems to be mostly older shows, documentaries, and B-movies.]]> Wed, 21 May 2008 09:18:12 -0400

The Sony store is gloomy and the employees do stare at you hungrily, if sometimes suspiciously, even when you're wearing a suit and tie. However, I do see kids having fun in their kid's section and no one seems to mind.

The Apple store is crowded and lively, but I when I needed support once, I waited in line for 10 minutes, Macbook Pro in hand, only to be ignored by by the staff, who either acknowledged that I was there and then disappeared into the back, or just kept leaning over the counter to flirt with a gum-chewing 14 year old who was apparently writing a paper.
When I politely interrupted to ask my question, (Is there an easy way to rotate screen orientation--something I know you can do, and something I could use), the guy said, "What?" and looked at me like it was the dumbest thing he had ever heard. When I tried to explain why, he just scoffed again, said, "No", and then leaned back on his elbows to flirt with the girl some more.

So I guess those stores are a good place to hang out. At least the hostiles at Sony give me their attention...]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:09:10 -0500
