Well, I just called it as I saw it. I knew Rte66 wouldn't have been offended by your 'goading' her into checking the video card and getting a new monitor. (Sheesh, I'd have took it as a suggestion since I wouldn't have given a thought to the video card.)
Knowing the monitor is 15 years old, I know that my colors are dark, lol. It was just embarrassing to admit it, but I really couldn't see what was *in* the horse pool and I really wanted to - still can't!
(At least I didn't get the usual "don't you know monitors are only $300 nowadays and PCs are only $400?" lecture I have gotten before. Or, the really good - "find a used one to buy cheap" command.
I always think "I doubt seriously you could stand to live the life I'm having to live right now, so don't mess with me! If I had $700 extra, I'd have a decent puter set-up! But first, the $2 bus fare.")
