First, it’s really cold outside – 29 degrees, freezing rain, roads closed, not many people went to work today, no one is going to work tomorrow. Which brings up the question, why do I want it to be 80 degrees inside when it’s cold out and 70 degrees inside when it’s hot out? Shouldn’t a comfortable temperature be comfortable year round?
Second, my trusty ViewSonic A90 19″ CRT, purchased for 4 or 5 hundred dollars 6 or 7 years ago, finally died this weekend. It was a damn fine display, (almost) outlasting 2 computers, and it will be missed. It has been replaced by a ViewSonic VX2235WM 22″ Widescreen LCD, which was a great deal at Costco for $329. I was worried about moving away from the trusty CRT, but so far (3 days), the new LCD has been great.
Gotta go turn up the heat now, maybe 82 will be warm enough…
