'Serenity'
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!
Thanks. No CompUSA around here, alas, but I suppose I could always make the overly-attentive salespeople at Best Buy thrilled by saying something to them other than a not-quite-snarled No Thank You.
Well, at least an equivalent monitor should be cheaper this year than last, right?
It's too bad you're on the other side of the country. Because I would be THRILLED to give you mine. I've had it for four years and it's in great condition. I think it's a Samsung.
This is what happens when you don't choose your residence well! Thanks for thinking of me, though. You know, I have a vague memory that the CRT I replaced with my current monitor may have been a Samsung as well, and that thing never gave me a day of trouble. Have to keep that in mind.
I have two Samsung 15" LCD's that have been rock solid. I've also got a 15" Viewsonic that has been great. These are on three of my theatre rental machines, so they get abused quite a bit too.
One of the Samsungs is at least 3 years old now.
Katie, I just took a look at their website and they're offering a $120.00 mail in rebate on a 17"; regular price $399. The rebate takes 4-6 weeks. Free shipping. I don't know if that's reasonably priced to you or not.
I suspect it is, all things considered, though I haven't done any comparative pricing yet. Thanks.
From Slashdot:
"The new Mazda Sassou while being `cool and promoting a positive state of mind' has a most important feature, that every geek will love. Instead of the classic key it uses a usb flash drive for starting up. The key can also be used to transfer things like driving instructions or music to the car's hard drive."
eta: It's a concept car.
My want.
Oh yeah. And very SciFi, too.
