I know, 2001 called and want their games back, but my point is that 17" vs. 12" screens do make a difference..

I remember, oh, in 2002 or 2003 I upgraded from my 15" (14 viewable) Sony Trinitron CRT. Part of the reason I was hanging on to it for so long was because it was easy to take to LAN parties (easy, relatively speaking). Me and my friends were diehard Quake III players back then. Most of my friends had at least 17" monitors, and a couple had 19" monitors. Let me tell you, I wasn't terrible at Q3A with the Trinitron, but when I upgraded to a 19" Viewsonic CRT, the next LAN was totally a night and day show for me. My rail was spot on!

Too bad the effect seems to have long worn off. Maybe everyone should start practicing on palm pilot or cell phone screens, and then go back to playing on full size monitors... There's a money making formula here, I can smell it..." Four Inch FPS Practice Screen - only $499!"
