My PowerBook G4 got zits.
Just two, tiny, gray pixels. They are in lower left corner of the display. Two inches from the left and half an inch from the bottom. Spaced one eight of an inch horizontally. I washed the screen to make sure it was not a speck of dust. They are most likely dead pixels, because they are most visible on the white background.
They just sit there and bother me any time I happen to look in the left corner. Since they are down at the bottom where not much is happening, I will pretend it is not a problem. What I do if they spread? Use Proactiv Solution? No. I will buy me new, shiny MacBook Pro.
While writing posts, I check the dictionary to make sure that I am not inventing new words. Apple dictionary application can check any combination of New Oxford American Dictionary, Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus, Apple Dictionary and Wikipedia. Interestingly the term dead pixels exists only in Wikipedia.
