For the last couple of days in the afternoon we’ve been getting these short intense thunderstorms rolling through my city. They hit us with sudden downpours that dump a lot of rain, with a little bit of wind on us and then the sun pops out and it’s all over. Frankly we need these and more. We need a good soaking rain.
During yesterday’s storm we had some massive power fluctuations and a few brown outs, until finally everything was sort of fine again. When I got back into my office my monitor wouldn’t turn on. It was fried. My monitor was our old TV that we had replaced with a much larger model when a friend replaced his VERY large TV with a much larger newer TV. He gave us the old one. Anyway, that old TV became my very large 28 inch monitor. I am sad to see it go though.
Monitor have come a long long way since I last bought one. I picked up a 24 inch Acer monitor for $99. Thank goodness for back to schools sales! This thing is tiny and weight nothing. I’m kind of blown away that it’s as big as it is and yet I was carting it around the store by a single handle and with one hand.
Does anyone remember CRTs?
