Yea, the technology is different as well. Those types of LCD screens, you can actually see the electrodes in the display. Very expensive technology, which is why they did away with it I suppose.

Believe its still an Active Matrix LCD like today, but its not manufactured the same at all... probably using different crystal chemicals. Hard to say.

My guess it was expensive to produce so they did away with it. And they do eat alot of light.

BTW, I think its a modified finder, or an infected finder. I did notice finder is actually "hidden" in the system folder, And the little thingy by the apple menu dont pop up until finder begins to load. I am thinking about imaging the drive, or at least copying finder and uploading it, Maybe someone can figure out what it is?
