They sure are nice, though. I complained of eyestrain from staring at the CAD screen 12+ hours a day and finally was given long-persistance hi res CRTs like that, for $2000 each in the early 90's. Thanks, MILSTAR.

The spare laptop I bought 'for parts' at a flea market has a pixel pitch of 0.204mm, or 1400x1050 on a 14.1" diagonal. The standard is

0.28mm. HDTV is gorgeous on it, within a small viewing angle.

You forgot the part where Holder got involved. :-(

If you want to own a gun, obviously you're not to be trusted owning one.

Now LCDs, that'll put those things to shame, are dirt cheap. As Micheal alluded to in another thread, I do sit in front of a screen, often 12+ hours a day (and have for over thirty years). I don't miss CRT displays AT ALL.

This 15" laptop is 1680x1050 (right now using an external 24" 1920x1200 monitor). In '98 I had a 1920x1200 laptop. I much prefer the 16:10s over

16:9s but they're becoming hard to find.

He actually brags about not owning any sort of firearm. Of course, every month or two he posts asking for advice on what to buy. Been doing it for years now. SOGOTP.

I'm considering investing in high-capacity magazines. Sort of a hedge against further stupidity in Washington.

I'm deathly allergic to tobacco smoke and have been known to brain a smoking creep with a fire extinguisher after emptying in his face. Freon and Halon are also very rough on smokers if you can get enough of a concentration into the air. CO2 is also fun to release in large quantities in a small space around smokers. I've had evil thoughts of flammable gasses even high concentrations of O2 but the civilized man in me put a stop to that. I've installed Halon fire suppression systems and if I remember correctly it took less than an 8% concentration of

1301 to put out a fire. I've never seen a smoker try to light up in that atmosphere but it would be fun albeit expensive to tryout on one of those idiots. ^_^

I had a very similar experience in school doing the same sorts of things for the school. The principals were always interested in saving money and I fixed things because it was fun for me. ^_^

Understood. That's why it may be a nice financial move.

Of course. Chuck-E-Dumbshit.

There is a reason I don't live in Californicate.

Sure, he's just a ringleader of the stupid.

I'd even buy one form "As Seen on TV". ;-)

A pop can with a dozen drops of gasoline might have got his attention. :)

He'd have smelled it, before the action. Gunpowder is odorless.

Or in a nice mix of pure Oxygen & Acetylene.

That, along with how long it took to get someone there to do the work. At that time they had to request service, then the school board would wait till they had several schools with problems before they called the contractor to to the work. That changed after I was out of the service. I had that schools system & two others under contract on a time & materials contract. The principals had the authority to call me for service. it wasn't unusual for me to get a call at 6:30 in the morning, then rush over to the school to have the item repaired before classes started.

Wait till he had a bad cold...

A late friend of mine was on an oxygen machine because of his emphysema and of course he couldn't throw the cigarets away. He told me that a cigaret lasts about 1 second in a oxygen rich atmosphere. I said to him, "You've shotgunned pot, now you've done it with tobacco." ^_^
