It seems my weekend has gotten off to a chaotic start. I lost my fscking train pass somewhere between getting off of the train and/or leaving the train station.
This morning, my monitor exploded. My second 17in Princeton Graphics E720 monitor fizzled smoked and popped it's self to death during a hectic game of Baldur's Gate II.Luckly, my mother notified me of a school district surplus yardsale/junk dumping taking place today. I made it over there posthaste and picked up a replacement 14in monitor AND and perfectly fine, yet dusty Macintosh LC 550 for a grand total of four dollars! Computer equipment costing less than Starbucks coffee, whooda thunk it?
The only problem now is I can't run anything on my computer over 800x600 at 70HZ, I'm too used to massive CRT real estate 1600x1200 now goddamnit!
Consequently, I reccommend anyone in the market for a new monitor to stay very far away from those sold under the label of Princeton Graphics, utter trash they are. Can anyone suggest a good 17in in the $200-500 range?
