Not catastrophic, as I had a staggeringly large, 17" display (1 bit, about 2 feet deep, and about 60 lbs, iirc). The catch was that the internal display had been the main display, and got the menus . . . I had to go fishing with the mouse to bring up the control panel by heading for upper left, and guessing my pulldown . . . iirc, I knew either where the panel had last been, or a sliver was haning over the two screens, or some such. After a few minutes I actually got it, blindly pulled part onto the big screen, and used the panel to change the primary screen. I never did get the fuse fixed (but it *did * throw me across my office when I reached in to bend the eject tab on the floppy, forgetting for the moment that the high voltage was on the side of a crt, not the disconnected tube socket . . .) -- Dr. Richard E.
