I think the original eee only had 480px vertical? 600px vertical was standard on pretty much every other netbook ever though. only the really expensive ones had 768px, and what kind of fool would pay for an expensive netbook? apart from me

Sony had the Vaio P series, which had ridiculous 1600 x 768 displays. Fuckers were tiny. I coveted the hell out of them even while whatever 12" ThinkPad I had at the time was suiting my needs.

At the risk of outing myself as an ubuntu user, I'd like to point out that there's always the annoying "ready to login" and "logging in the user" sounds that are super annoying but not annoying enough for me to actually go and change it. I usually just leave my headphones off until well after I login, when I actually start some music.
