...about many of today's computers... WIDE SCREEN MONITORS I don't mind wide so long as the monitor is tall, too. But too mmany damned monitors really emphasize wide, I suppose to accommodate displaying movies. But that means there is less room to display a page of copy you might have written, or the full page on a book or magazine. Oh well.. The local comp. store sells a 32 inch monitor....shall I order you one? |
