In my schooldays, a visit from the "nit lady" was bad news - it meant that the teacher had found some of the pupils with headlice, and we'd all need a checkup. So I was surprised to see this advert drive past today, apparently offering 200 nits with every notebook computer.

After scratching my head (sorry!) to try and understand what they meant, a quick google showed that in these days of squeaky-clean students, Nits "is the standard which LCD manufacturers rates the brightness of their panels".

PS. If you want to impress the colleagues at work today, just let them know that one Nit = 0.2919 foot-lambert (F/ L).
