800x600, I use the 15" at 1024x768) I'm reduced to using the old
Philips 105/S that we had as a spare. shrug

I'm always surprised when I hear of people using 15 inch monitors.
17-inch CRT's are 60 bucks, and I can buy a good 19-icn CRT-based
monitor for 200.

I know Evan. Unfortuately I'm an invalid on a *very* limited income and the
missus is furthering her education so no income from there either. Plus I'm
in NZ and our prices aren't as sharp as yours. The missus uses her PC for
her assignments etc, that's why I figured she should have the better
monitor. Unfortunately no rich parents either. G


Given that, quite undertandable. Too bad you're not local - I have about3-4
surplus CRT monitors in the 17-19 inch range I'd be happy to donate.

Alas - shipping costs are greater than the monitors are worth these days.
