So, it's 2:34 am, and I'm at a 24/7 "we're-cool-and-have-free-wifi-and-make-a-great-italian-soda" cafe by my house.
There is this girl sitting across from me who is literally leaning in over the table and squinting at the screen on her white MB.
I have a 15" PB, cause I like a decent sized screen for design, but the screens aren't all that bad on mb's are they? Is she just blind?
I have nothing against mb's, I'm just sitting here giggling like a little school boy at her on her laptop and wondering if it's really that small... 
Have a good one-
Mike

Beware the power of the ellipsis.

Its not the MB, it must be her.  I have a MB and I can sit 2 feet from it and not squint at the screen.

They're not too small.
There, I settled it.
Now, everyone bow before my wisdom.

I have a MB and the screen is fine. She'd be better off adjusting her text size. I am usually fine 2 feet away from my screen, be it the 15" MBP one or my Dell 20" wide panel.
Maybe she has vision problems, e.g., an astigmatism.

You're in a cafe. At 3 in the morning. Sitting opposite a girl. And you're wondering about her computer? What is wrong with you, man?

I'm really failing to figure out your attempted burn. I stay up late. I noticed a girl who could barely see her laptop, and asked about it. ..try again.

It's not a burn, dude. Just wondering why you're more interested in the laptop than the girl!

Gotcha. Haven't been to bed. Maybe your implication was there, and I just didn't catch it 
I have a girlfriend, and was doing work, and she wasn't exactly my type anyway.
