'Dirty Girls'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
ave you tried all resolutions or a variety of monitor profiles?
It actually works at a lower resolution (well, I tested it about a minute that way and didn't notice the problem). Maybe that's an option for applications that produce the problem at 1600x1200. But it seem to me that in general, operating an LCD monitor at lower than maximum resolution would induce some distortion (just due to the mathematics of it).

My experience is that it introduces black borders around the sides. Your results may vary.
tommy, my Viewsonic does that too. Reinstalling the drivers intermittently makes it go away. Also, one in every four or so time I boot it, the display is terribly frelled. But another boot and its fine.

Huh.
Crap.
Apparantly there are no Mac drivers for monitors. Or something.
I'm debating dropping the expensive Charter cable and internet and going to Qwest DSL.
If you do this, email me at the profile address. I work for Qwest, and, um, can get a few bucks if you do.
Make sure that any DSL modem you get will handle the following:
PPPoA (If you choose Qwest or MSN as an ISP. Other ISPs can use another protocol, if they choose)
DMT (as opposed to CAP)
Authentication (To pass a Username and password.)
The Cisco 678 (NOT 675) will do all of these, as is stable as hell. The downside is that they don't actually make it anymore, so you have to eBay it. Not overly cheap. I also hear good things about the Zoom modem. Qwest sells an ActionTec w/ built in wireless for $60, or rent for $5/mo.
AHEM.
Anyway, email me if you want. Also, anyone else in the 14-state Qwest region should email me, too, if they want . . . .
Is Gmail down for everyone, or just me?
I can get into gmail, Jess.
Huh. I've been getting a "Server Error: Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience." message all morning.
(And yes, I've cleared the cache and restarted the browser. A few times. [eta: sorry if this sounded snippy -- just trying to avoid the inevitable "Did you clear your cache?" x-post])
I got in just fine.
I finally got in, after 4 hours of server errors. Sadly, nobody was trying desperately to get in touch with me.
