Being reduced to an online shopping expedition for a new monitor I discovered something that surprised me. My "Rolls Royce" of monitors has always been the Sony Trinitron but the price was too rich for my blood. Sony has, however, started licencing this technology... something I've never known them to do before. In my window shopping I discovered two manufacturers with this new line at very reasonable prices. KDS with their Avitron range and CTX International with their Professional series.
Which did I buy? Neither, I must confess. I fell for a 17" KDS model being offered at a price I couldn't resist in the Canadian store at MegaDepot.com. Whoever buys what they go looking for anyway?
Great service, great product, great price. The next best thing to free.
Lief Gregory over in Computer Works has just started a Hardware series on monitors... you might like to add it to your knowledge base.
As the Internet and the Web get bigger the world gets smaller. With all the millions of home pages and web sites out there what chance would you give of complete strangers from the same family meeting on the same page?
Just another case of truth being stranger than fiction. Many of us have such stories to tell and I have a new one. To keep within my topic I'll offer the observation that your own time is free and good luck is the best freeware going.
A cousin of mine in Seattle recently lost her father quite suddenly and decided to take a nostalgic look round the web site of his original home town in England. Finding a guest book there, she accepted the invitation to leave a message and included some of the family names. Among the messages was one posted just weeks earlier by someone quoting the identical names.
E-mails start flying and lo and behold a complete new branch added to the family tree... in Australia. To modify slightly a popular expression, the rest is being added to the history books as I speak. Amongst others I have a brand new cousin with a computer background as long as mine... and he has as many letters after his name as I have in mine... *sigh.* His surname? Freeman - now there's a nice touch!
