Nice picture, Buster.

Now when you squint at the porn, it won't be from a small picture.

Tnxs Bruce. I've had a look at youporn, but can't get the hang of stretching the video frames. I'm sure some of the things on there could well be stretched to fit all circumstances.
The linked photo is one I made at library one day. TooT

Funny you should mention that. I watched an interview with some porn stars (yes, I do read the articles) about how they are nervous about HD porn. It seems there is some concern(NYTIMES link) that small body flaws might be much more noticeable.

Anyway, I digress. Really nice Buster. I remember back when monitors were clunky monochrome 14 inch CRTs. I moved up to a 19 or 20 inch LCD a few years ago.

Now personally, I thought it was a guy thing, but apparently it's gender neutral. Now that my wife uses the computer a lot she appreciates the size and picture quality.

We were in an office supply store last week and I stopped to look at a 20-something inch monitor. The frame was glossy black and the effect continued onto the screen which was covered with a glossy glare filter. It gave the image a clear, sharp, and wet look, like a high quality glossy photo. We were both impressed.

Nice monitor BB - I have a 19" here at work, think I've asked this before, but don't remember - what's the best way to clean an LCD screen - I don't want to use some kind of cleaner if it will mess it up.

Good job Rich.
