Not really that special until you compare it to the ancient door stop I have been using.

Well, now that you mention it, I visited the western US power administration operations center last week to see what they're using in the dispatch room. The entire grid is lit up on edge to edge Mitsubishi display units - LED, I assume - and updated in real time to show the status of every wire and switch and transformer and breaker in 9 states. The display is made up of edgeless plates, covering a wall 10' high and 60'+ wide. The operators have similar units mounted on hydraulic controls to move them up, down, forward and backward relative to the desk surface, which itself is hydraulically adjusted to be comfortable from a sitting or standing position. These individual desk displays are only 5' tall and about 8' wide, but the color and resolution is excellent. I'm just a tiny bit jealous...

Apple. Beautiful. Elephanting expensive. I can buy 3 or 4 laptops for the price of a decent Mac Book Pro or whatever they are called.

Depends. Look at the prices of many of the premium laptops and Ultrabooks and they are more expensive than the Macbook Air. The Macbook Pro, on the other hand, is definitely a little too Pricey.
I :heart: the screen on my iMac though...

True enough. I'd love to get an Apple: I just can't justify the cost. Pity.

A friend of mine bought a 94 inch TV, many years ago. The first porn film he watched almost made him ill, he had to watch it from down the hall it was that gross.

Amazing. That is why they used to tie a string to a bell so that keepers in a cemetery could dig up people who were burried alive.

Sure I heard about coffins with a web cam in so people can check you're still dead.

The obvious cause of this so-called miracle is that the man's family called him "Snowball," and, as the old saying goes: "there's not a snowball's chance in Hell."
