While you're limited to 1024x768 on its internal screen, if you can plug it into an external monitor its graphics card can drive that at at least 1600x1200. When I'm home and want to do some extended work on the powerbook, I'll often plug in a monitor, usb keyboard and mouse and work on the bigger screen. The powerbook lets you run like that with the lid closed, so it's like a poor man's docking station. Walt Attachment:
