EXACTLY!!!  That guy hit the nail on the head.  It was funny but true. 
Since all of the PC's that I see in the stores have the TruLife screen I 
was beginning to think that there was something wrong with me because I 
was the only one who felt that he couldn't live with it.  Now, I'm 
wondering if it will be a fad.  The blog post was dated June 2006 so 
TruLife has been around for over a year.  Fad or not, it comes at a time 
when I'm in the market.  Unfortunately, I don't want to wait a couple of 
years for the style to go back to a matte finish.  I am, however, willing 
to wait as long as it takes to find something that I feel good about 
buying.  Thanks for the confirmation that I'm not alone.
