17" ===> 16"
20" ===> 19"
15" ===> 14"
etc.

This is the world as we all know it now - get used to it. The whole
world is designed around making things sound better than they really
are.  I can go to a Burger King and order a 1/2 pounder, and then
read in small print at the bottom of the menu: Weights are prior to
cooking.

Can't we all just accept being screwed because we know everyone else
is being screwed equally?  This isn't discrimination - this is just
the wonderful world of selective advertising.

I am thankful for my ViewSonic 17 17" monitor (which I am selling in
.forsale.computers.pc-clone by the way) as it is one of the true 17"
monitors - by that I mean: no stupid borders.  It's digitally
controlled, and I can expand the screen size to the very outside of
the tube - not just the bezel.  I know - I can't see all the way over
there, but you usually don't need to see the left 1/4" of a window
anyway... :)

Keep smilin'...
