Oh my goodness. Talk about a fall from grace (see last post).

I have intermediate uveitis (probably due to sympathetic opthalmia from an assault 6/12 ago).

I have difficulty focusing. At work they have provided me with a Dell laptop. With a resolution of 1260 x 720 the screen looks fine - but I can't read the text that well.

IT have complete control of display parameters (apparently to stop medical secretaries using desktop images of kittens). IT reduced the resolution for me to 800x600 so I could read the text. Sadly the graphics became, quite frankly, crap beyond belief.

I accept that had this laptop been a higher quality product this might not have happened (at the end of the day we're talking about corporate health care PC hardware, i.e. not for hedge fund managers).

Still pretty sh*te though.
