Actually, the apparent size of a decent laptop screen on your lap is frequently larger than that of a flatscreen TV on the other side of the room. For me, I can choose a 16" Macbook or a 49" flatscreen about 8 feet away. When I compare screens, the Macbook’s appears larger than the TV’s. Go figure.
Kind of reminds me of “Idiocracy” where all of the intelligent folks would rationalize why not to have kids, eventually leaving no one but idiots running things. Toni, you will be the downfall of civilization!
Interesting note: the Rangers had balsa wood bodies to absorb some of the impact.
