Very interesting. You hit it right on the nose.
Even though I'm using a Thinkpad laptop, I do so 99% of the time with it
in the docking station connected through a KVM to a 19" Sony monitor and
external keyboard and mouse. What's interesting is (probably has
something to do with the ATI drivers) that Cleartype-enabled looks
better on the external CRT than Standard! This is not true of my other
desktop (which looks better Standard-enabled as one would expect).
