My monitor has started to lose it in the last week or so. It started with a bright line near the bottom of the screen that I eventually realized was a wrapping of the bottom few pixels. Slowly it’s worked its way up the screen, to the point where as I began typing this message the entire bottom half was rolled up into a centimetre-wide band of white, and no amount of degaussing or power-cycling will fix it.
So now I have a problem: do I go geeky (and expensive) and go for an LCD screen, or stick with the tried-and-(mostly)-true CRT?
Geeky.
You’ve got to be true to yourself.
Of course, since I posted this I haven’t had any trouble. Swearing at it hadn’t helped, so maybe the monitor got the clue once it had to actually display the pixels….
You’re not going to let that stop you from getting new hardware are you?

Peter… I’m *very* disappointed.
