Nice.
Adium lovers -- does it work with the iSight?
Also, anyone have any recommendations for small (for use in a cubicle) air purifiers?

So, it's time to chuck this old CRT and get myself an LCD monitor. What is recommended by the hivemind?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Apparantly it takes more work to replace the memory in the Intel Mini than the old one (you now have to move the HD out of the way first). Which is nice to know, as I gotta add memory to my old Mini.

Yeah -- the link that went to that page recommended getting the extra memory with the box, but that seems a bit overkilly.

What kind of computer?
I think one of the biggest questions is: do you wanna get one with a digital interface (DVI)? It costs more, and unless you have a recent graphic card you'd need to get a graphic card with DVI output to take advantage of it. (You could still use an analog VGA interface on a DVI monitor.)
You gotta pay more for a DVI monitor, but personally I think it's worth it - the picture is much sharper than many analog VGA LCD monitors.

PC. And I forget all my stats at the moment. 1.2 GHZ processor. At least 512 MB RAM, maybe a gig. Running Win2K. It was built for me in 2003, so that's how old the graphics card would be.
I don't know what a DVI is. Really, as long as the picture quality is at least as good as a CRT, I don't mind so much. It's more of a convenience/space issue. Plus, easier to move. Also, my Proview monitor blows. I'm not going to trust a second-rate monitor this time.

It's about what kind of video card you have. You should check. It could make a difference.
I have a Viewsonic, and it's treated me very well, except the driver and my card sometimes pretend to not like each other. Never for too long, luckily.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
O mighty hivemind, I have a Minolta Dimage F200. It finally sustained a fair amount of damage from wear and tear and I sent it in to be repaired before Konica-Minolta complete gets rid of their camera dept. The estimate/bill is $110.
Can I get a newer, better camera for not too much more or would I be better off repairing the one I have?
