Wide Screen Monitor

We had a thunderstorm a couple of weeks ago that zapped one of the connections on my video card. At least that's what I think happened. I have only been able to use one monitor for the past couple of weeks.

Of course earning a living at my consulting job requires two monitors and the ability to move documents from one screen to the other.

So on Tuesday I finally got around to ordering a replacement video card from Amazon.com. While I was making my selection a screen popped up with an offer of an Acer 22" wide screen monitor. Only $149.00, including free shipping.

While I considered this offer Bonzi jumped up and bumped my elbow. I must have accidentally clicked the left button on the mouse, because the graphics card and monitor were delivered yesterday by UPS. I unpacked everything and hid the boxes in the garage. I'll burn them later when nobody's looking.

I installed the new card and plugged in the new and old monitors. I must say they look very elegant, and the larger screen area hides the clutter of wires on my desk.

Also, I have no doubt that my clients will appreciate the enhanced quality of my work and will want to pay me more money.

Please don't tell T about this, though. I don't want to get Bonzi in trouble.
