Busted Monitor

February 27, 2005 Lauren

I’m blogging from my ancient laptop, coming in on dial-up at a whole 48Kbps. It always seems that as soon as I take care of a massive bill, another lines up to take its place.

Today’s issue: Sometime during the night, my monitor blew out. If any local bloggers or readers have an extra monitor you can sell for a reasonable price, send me an email. If not, no updates for awhile.

UPDATE:
Someone reminded me about the university salvage center, the place where they take all the outdated furniture, hardware, and the like to sell to the public. I might tool on down there tomorrow and see what they have.

We have an extra monitor or two here you can have. We’re closer to Indy than Lafayette, but let me know.

If you are less than impressed with your salvage center monitor, consider this… you can get a sexy new flatscreen for free! ;D I’m sure you have enough loyal readers to place your order by the end of the week.

Okay. I can’t take this. Have you gotten your monitor yet?

Negative. I still have the laptop but typing on it makes my wrists hurt.

I have a spare, too, that you can have if you can cover shipping costs (I’m in Washington state). It’s not flat panel, but it’s a good monitor. Just let me know if you want me to ship it.

if you’re stuck using the laptop for a time and your wrists ache, you might try plugging in your desktop keyboard for some relief. most laptops (even ancient ones) accept external keyboards. good luck.

Lauren,

I have two extra Apple 17″ Studio Displays (CRTs) that you’re welcome to help yourself to (like free as in beer), and I’m fairlyl local since I go to Purdue.

However, I leave for a week of golf vacation today, so it won’t be until I get back on the weekend of March 12th before I could help you out.

If you’re willing to wait that long and are still interested, send me an e-mail.
