When leapfish turns on the exhaust fan above the stove, the display on the 17" monitor in the next room starts to shake. They are 3 feet apart, through the wall. Probably on the same circuit, but I'm not sure.
hmm my work computer does that as well when I turn my desk fan on. I can actually move the fan close to the monitor and make it shake violently. Something about the electricity next to the actual monitor. it's weird eh?
Cool. But again, no money right now, so no purchases. :) The plan is a new LCD, but the competing plan is to create a new DVR PC rather than have a desktop at all. Not sure which will win out.
I vote DVR PC. My new LCD is still sitting unused under my desk at work. However, a new DVR PC could have been used to record Simpsons and Desperate Housewives in parallel last night.
2. And you have my paypal address. I charge standard 10% markup. (Is this part of your "All Sarah's Monitors Are Belong To Cam" project? Because, if so, you can have the 17" monitor that replaced the one I sold you that Brian borrowed "for the weekend" two years ago.)
Yeah, but markup on top of what? I wasn't sure if this was something work supplied, so the markup would be on top of "having to lift it off my chair after the mailroom dropped it off" or on top of "$299 US"
Markup on top of the $373USD I paid for the thing. Trust me, 10% of the time and effort spent getting it from my office floor to the UPS store would amount to much, much more than $37.30.
I want a 17" LCD, but I'm REALLY not interested in being ripped off with prices like that. Not that you're trying to rip me off (much), but rather that I can find prices like $250+tax CDN, and I just want to get down to $200 or so. I'm cheap.
Also note that the monitor in question is much nicer than the 17" version work supplied. And I'm not in the habit of reselling MSFT-owned electronic equipment...yet.

Or just buy a new LCD monitor that'll have filter electronics built in :)
