It's kind of nice to not need to be satisfied with nothing but the
best. Vic and I see eye to eye on a lot of things. He drives old Corsica's and I drive old station wagons. Now I won't say I'm cheap, but it doesn't take much to make me happy. anyhow, the computer screen on dads old machine took a dive. It fires up then after a minute it's like you jsut shut it off. wait about 10-15 sec. punch the button and it comes back on, then in a few seconds it shuts itself back off. i called a friend of mine to say I couldn't check his email at work because of the bad monitor, and he told me you can get some pretty good deals on them now, because they're getting better and the prices are getting lower then he started telling me wherehe saw some cool screen advertized for about a hundred or so. I interrupted him and said "Or I can get one at the pawn shop for about $15 bucks!" He said, "For you? that sound like a deal". Soze I call my buddy that runs the pawn shop and asked if he had something. "Sure do, I'll bring it home with me." So I went to his house and picked it up. it's really cool what you can get for a twenty. Not my pic but this is it! http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFi...onitor_558.jpg Ain't she a beauty? |

Your buddy with the pawn shop - he have any Olympus OM lenses in decent shape? I want to do some experiments and used lenses are the way to go - I can take 'em apart and not lose a whole lot of money. :) And no - that's not being cheap - that's being practical. |

It sure beats the old HP that I was using, even if this Compaq is "Bigger'n a Buick" a lot better resolution. Ah! I'm finally stepping into the big times! |
