**I have an ancient laptop... probably closer to a Lappy 286 than a Lappy 486. It has no contrast, but it does have brightness which would basically just make the backlight brighter or darker. Even at its brightest, it's nowhere near bright enough unless all the lights are out. So theoretically this could be added, but I have a feeling they're gonna leave it as just the LCD effect. --[[User:jtickle|jtickle]] 23:45, 29 Nov 204 (EST) | **I have an ancient laptop... probably closer to a Lappy 286 than a Lappy 486.

Revision as of 07:10, 1 December 2004
Strong Bad's up-to-date email program looks suspiciously like PINE (PINE Is Not Elm). PINE is one of the older old-school email clients on UNIX networks such as university shell accounts.
-- The official acronym for PINE is Program for Internet News and Email.
Contrast
Do you think that perhaps the contrast knob will be added to the Lappy later on? I mean, maybe they just forgot to put it in. In any case, I liked the contrast thing (although the LCD liquid effect is pretty dang cool).

OS Inspiration
I know I can't be the only one to see parallels between the Lappy 486's logo and that of Mac OS 8. Even the startup sound seems rather Mac-inspired. --codeman38 21:56, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
Lappy outer logo
Can anyone get a shot of the Lappy outer logo? When Strong Bad carries it in his fist blocks it.
