Very good point. I was just teasing about the typo by the way.
Today we have much higher resolutions and much larger displays on
laptops then they did on those. My old Dell Inspiron 7000 had a huge
display (for its time). That was 1280x1024, but I have to admit that
looking at much older laptops (such as this one), most of them do not
have the higher resolutions available today ;)
