…and today’s something is a new 19” wide-screen monitor. I woke up this morning to find the old monitor had given up the ghost sometime in the middle of the night. Dead. No power light, even...and attempts at resuscitation were futile. So, instead of my usual morning drill I put the coffee on, hit the shower, and was off to The Big(ger) CityTM to buy a new monitor. Which was an adventure in and of itself.
Office Max, the only local business that carries computer stuff, allegedly had three of these spiffy monitors in stock. The problem was they couldn’t find any of ‘em. And they looked for all of about a half an hour while I stood around waiting semi-patiently. To cut to the chase: I bought their display model. All the other options in a 19” size were Korean or Chinese off-brands I’d never heard of... so no sale, there. I briefly considered an HP 22” model for only a hundred dollars more (lots of those in stock, of course), but decided against it. My desk just doesn’t have that much available real estate…as you can tell from the pic.
So. I really like this new pretty-picture box. It took me a while to get it set up and run the calibration routines, but all that’s behind me now. So now it’s off to make the rounds and see what’s happening in the world.
Back in a bit.
