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!
Yes, it's an LCD. Dell 1907FP.
eta: Thanks for mentioning the model number. It hadn't occurred to me to look it up, because I have no brain. It looks like it's outlasted many of the power switches on this model. It also looks like some people have been able to at least turn the monitor on with the use of violence.
I'd probably use a toolkit and soldering iron, myself...
Violence, in the form of prying off the button and using a screwdriver to turn on the switch, worked. I think it's going to have to stay on for the remainder of its existence. It looks like a much tinier bit of soldering than I like to attempt, particularly without the use of all my fingers.
Thanks, DCJ!
You're welcome. Leaving it on shouldn't be a problem, especially if you set up energy saver functions in your OS.
I find myself needing to create an online portfolio. I started working on some stuff in iWeb and I think I can make it do what I want it to but I'll need more than one site. I've gotten recommendations for a few hosts including GoDaddy, FatCow and iPage (FatCow seems very charming). Any thoughts/recommendations?
Godaddy is a fine Domain Name Host. I'm not so sure it is a good web host.
Everyone has their favorites. I think most B.orgers use ... the name escapes me, drat it. I seem to be alone in my appreciation for GoDaddy. They're especially quick with their customer service and have great hold music. I've never had trouble with uptime, and the one time I was hacked it was my fault.
I like Dreamhost. I've never tried anybody else, but they've been stellar for me.
ETA: I have used a student's GoDaddy hosting account and I find it much harder to navigate their control panel interface.
I've got Dreamhost and I've been pretty happy with it.
