rolanniSo, I woke up this morning with the palm of my right hand itching, which, asyouknowBob, is a sign that money will soon cross it.
Alas, my psyche got its signals mixed. What it had really meant to convey was the fact that my monitor had died the True Death on the overnight and I was destined to part with money at the local Staples in order to be able to read the morning comics.
Silver lining: The new screen is a twenty-two-incher, nice and bright; really, I could have used this the other day when I was doing all that layout. And, hey! I can see all of a Live Journal page without having to scroll from side to side (yes, I do keep my resolution that fat; nearsighedness isn't for sissies.)
Steve is cooking lunch; after, I'll put my desk back together and then get on with my day.

You are lucky in timing. Monitor prices drop almost 50% in the past year. I am surprise that you didn't get a 24 inch monitor, it's usually about 50 bucks more for the next size inclement. Guess most people select monitor for their desktop footprint nowadays.
@muehe you can only get 19 inch monitors on closeout sells now. The recent entry level monitors starts at 20 inches with 1680x1050 (16:10 ratio) resolution.
