- There is no ghosting problem with active matrix screens, that is why
- they cost so damn much compared to the standard super twist screens on
- the 145/160 and the Duos. Although according to MacTheKnife, next fall
- should hail the introduction of not only an active matrix Duo, but also
- a color powerbook(no word on super twist vs. active matrix though).
