Just got my 21" monitor back, after about a week of squinting at the little 14"-or-something (and, to a lesser degree, tiny little greenscreens on computers older than I am). This is scary. It's only been a week, but I can't maximize anything or it trips me out.

Man, I gotta get another of these for the old machine!:lol:

And scary, yes. I can't wait to try playing I-War on this thing...

Well, okay, that will never happen, since, technically speaking, the security setting still stand. But hey, I can imagine it.:D

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Small monitors I'm used to, though. It comes with the territory when you get most of your spare parts and wares for trade from junk piles.

I have been using 21" monitors for some years now so it's sort of the other way for me; I cannot quickly get used to the smaller ones. :D The only problem with them occurs when trying to lift them up for whatever reason, since they weigh like a hundred pounds. :p

Hate to imagine how long it will take me. Hmmm.

Hmm, I've found this bugger.

Now then, that's £117. 4 week's wage, provided I don't spend it on anything else.
Not too bad, to be honest
