Geek Nirvana ...


A few weeks ago, I wrote to say that I acquired a new laptop computer. I still love it, and it's working great. In the interim, I have also found gainful employment for the summer. (Yay for cool jobs!).

Well today, I made a frivolous purchase. The one thing I've missed about having a laptop is that the monitor is just a little ... well ... little. I still have an external keyboard and mouse (bluetooth) so I decided I'd buy an external monitor. The plan is that while I'm at home, I can simply close my laptop, and use it as though it were a desktop computer. When I have a class, or want to go "on the road", I can disconnect the speakers and monitor (everything else is wireless), and off I go.

The wild thing is that - WITH MY WIFE PRESENT - I bought a 22" Wide Screen LCD Monitor. It has both digital and analog inputs. It rocks!!! Any my wife was there when I bought it - that's the best part!

Wow...your wife saw you buy it and didn't mind. It's like getting her permission to flirt with the waitress.

Well, maybe I'm not so clever. Where is it?
