It's an adjustment that's painful and you have to mess around with your
screen to get it "more or less okay" because 16:9 is ass.  Here's why:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle  16:10 is naturally pleasing
to the eye.

The only reason people make excuses for it being "not much of an adjustment"
is because *there is no alternative*.  You can't buy a PC laptop (and we're
nearly there with desktop LCDs) that aren't 16:9.  Well, there's one
alternative.  Apple laptops.  That said, their 11" MacBook Air is now 16:9.
 I dread the day Apple announces a new line and it's *all* 16:9.  I guess
I'll just have to find a new hobby because interacting with a computer will
suck.
