I've had a monitor die on me, it was after years of distinguished service our family, we knew its time was getting short, purple haze filled its once bright display, random inexplicable color shifts. then one day -nothing. it was gone. <snif> then i went out bought a honkin 17" wonder and a raging video card. happy days are here again.
seriously it had some bad insides then it went out one day. I feel your loss, mw. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Perrin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 9:08 AM To: Nori Heikkinen Cc: debian-user Subject: Re: computer dead; help!

And it was even at Swarthmore! 'Course back then it was an IBM green-screen monitor connected to my XT compatible. I replaced it with the hot thing then: a 14" monitor that could do 800x600! But yes - monitors do just up and die, often because some simple component inside (e.g., capacitor, potentiometer) overheats. I feel your pain. Happy Thanksgiving!
