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

How's Samsung when it comes to monitors? Is $160 a good price for a 23" LED? It seemed to have the best quality among the monitors at Staples, and I may get an additional unspecified discount on top of that. The base is a bit clunky to put up in my living room, but I don't want to get OCD over that.

I have several Samsung monitors at work, and they're great. $160 for 23" sounds like a very good price for me - I think the OLED ones we use here generally run about $300.

Sorry tommyrot, I've never had that problem with my Mini.

tommy, I think I did have an issue like that when I had my Mini hooked up to my LG TV, when I get home I'll take a look at my settings and see if I can remember what the deal was. Something about dynamic display, maybe? I think it was something I changed on the TV, not in the Mini settings.

Caveat: I moved the Mini to have it's very own monitor, so I can't experiment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmm... maybe I should connect the Mini to a different monitor to see if the problem goes away.

Thanks, Jessica.

If this monitor cost the same as this one, which would you recommend? I'm tending away from the former because it only has HDMI input, and this will be my every-device monitor, but otherwise the key differentiator (.6"?)escapes me. And I do like the idea of the narrow stand, because it will be in the living room with a lot of other junk.

Any Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise experts around?

I've just started playing around with this, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to edit categories in the Issue Tracking module.

WOOHOO

Typing at you on a Chromebook!

While Acer outlet could not send me a replacement charger, they graciously offered to reimburse me if I bought one, which I did and it arrived today and everything apparently works!

Gonna wander off and let it charge in peace for a while, now, but I wanted to share the triumph first.

Whoa, trackpad scrolls the other way. That'll take adjustment.

Can you change the way the trackpad scrolls like you can on a Mac?

Oh, good call, yes you can. "Australian scrolling" is apparently what I want. Huh.

It's because all those Australians are upside-down.
