Is our fearless leader married?? If so, maybe a weekend away (with spouse) would be in order. Because if he's a married man, I'm sure all the work he's doing for us is taking away from his Lady. :--) ( I know my work sure intrudes!!) And don't forget, a number of us are still scrambling to get the PayPal account up and functioning so there's much more money on the way. If he wants a BIG monitor, then he deserves it! :--) We'll cover the shipping somehow too.
