Our wings are not tired

I've been happy with the low end 15" and 17" Samsung LCD monitors. I've got three of them in my collection of rental machines.

I've also got a cheap Viewsonic that seems to be holdiing up pretty well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A Samsung like this, ND? And a Viewsonic like this?

From looking at Tiger Direct, it seems that when it comes to brands I've heard of, $250 is a reasonable price -- that in line with reality?

Dana, you can edit music with Audacity, which is a really cool freeware program.

I have the 19" version of that Samsung, ita, and it's working great for me. I got it through CompUsa with rebates. I think it was around/under $200.00 after the rebates came back.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, Steph. Bookmarked.

Yes, for name brand 17" that's about the right range. Occasionally a sale hits and you can get one closer to $200.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

if problems crop up with size, I want to have other options.

You can always set up a free gmail account, mail the file FROM the gmail account TO the gmail account, and then give both of them the username and password to it.

Hey. New board.

That is about the best way I've ever heard to set up a semi-public file cache for under-10MB files. Wow.

Yeah, I thought of that, but it might be too my-mother complicated.

Hey. New board.

Dana: if you send me the file at my gmail account (profile) then I could host it on my webspace for a couple of days. Then you could just give them a weblink that should hopefully work (I'm just figuring out the Columbia network, but it seems pretty simple).
