BL> The original movie screen, and then TV, was chosen at 4:3

JB> :) that'd be whay they used a different ratio... something

 ROFL! That's a *different* magic number, dickhead. Its magic is that
1: 0.618 inverted is 1.618:1.

BL> What we *really* need on a computer screen, is a 4:3 display

BL> scanned the other way. We need a display that can be
BL> reversed... not made wider!

JB> 1 :root-two like paper. and tiltable, yeah that's what apple
JB> 1 did about 0 years ago...

 Exactly. And still does... but the PC that dominates the world (and
fucking! Microsoft) won't follow.

BL> I could scream at these silly fuckers who don't have a clue
BL> about video display, and get it all arse-up.

JB> you mean thay you don't?

 Could you try that sentence again, in English?

 "You mean thay you don't?" Jesus! What the fuck does that mean?
