- create black bitmap and another white bitmap file to check this
screen?

you remind me of something, I am currently using a Dell Inspiron 1100 now (have to return to owner soon). when the WinXP load, there is one moment where you can see the green bar moving and other area is Black in color, i notice one White pixel, is that a dead pixel?
furthermore, i notice the left and right bottom corner of screen is a bit shady black...hmmm, what is the lifespan for TFT screen?

"mind u this model for now come wif another combo drive, multibay swappable. the multibay also can be use for HD, floppy or battery." Please educate me, what do you mean by swappable? meaning external dy? yah, I took a look at the broucher, comes with multibay CDRW. Meaning it has one DVD ROM, if I want to use CDRW, I need to take out DVD ROM and swap CDRW inside?  and do you find this spec + price reasonable? |

that 4899 is the retail price i hope can get RM 45XX, see how the neg goes, i am still not comfortable with the swappable CDRW, isn't Combo (DVD + CDRW) a better choice? I mean, dun tell u you gonna carry one HD, Battery, CDRW around and swap it like 'magic' haha |
