Woe is me......
« on: December 30, 2004, 06:46:57 pm »
Ah, the joys of failure... This time however, the failure is caused by a device and not anything of my doing.... Imagine if you will a monitor screen that wishes to be in a "Hall of Mirrors", specifically a squished horizontally kind of mirror that makes life very difficult.... Well thats the view I am currently getting as I type this... Luckily for me it's not a proportional squeeze but more of a banded one...  ::) ::)

Yes friends, the entire contents of my desktop squashed into 4 alternating bands of normal and squished appearance, all crammed into something half the size it should be....  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Suffice to say, all my design and costruction work is on hold until I can get a new one, a tricky proposal since I have ZERO means of achieving it... I could say that this will teach me for not having a contingency plan but lets face facts here, how many of us have a spare backup monitor "just in case"?  Bah!!!

Woe, is definitely me....................  :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Too bad you live in Jolly Old England... I've got a spare one here, too- with here only being an ocean away.
