I just use a ruler to whack anyone who dares put their grubby fingers on my monitor.
It is cheaper, and seems to work well. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I got Dell 17" LCD monitors at work. They are fabulous. I use mine at the maximum resolution. Stuff if pretty dang small, but I have gotten used to it, and it allows for more visible Excel cells. I think we paid $650 about 5 months ago, but they are dang well worth it.
One additional benefit is the lack of electronic emissions.

I installed the Pivot Point software lastnight it allows you to rotate the image once you have rotated the monitor screen.
It takes a little getting used to, but sure makes viewing things real pleasent.
Attached is a picture of the TBN home page as it is seen under Portrait mode

Mark,
Very nice monitor. Replacing the puters this winter and will definitely go Flat Screen. Viewsonic are also some of the best out there. Luckily for me I work in IT sales so I can get the monitor at cost of what the retailers pay.
Another question. I noticed a nice new phone by the nice new monitor. What brand is that and does it have expansion to add other hand sets? When we move we will need a multi handset phone system. Panasonic seems to be the best out there right now.

Michael,
The phone is a Panasonic 2.4 GHz with duel keypad and speakerphone. It is only capable of one handset. I picked it up New in Box on eBay for $40?????? bucks.

Michael,
I have an older Panasonic 616 system. It has been very solid, but it was pre-caller ID and didn't directly support cordless phones. It was great for paging the kids when you didn't know where they were (down-side of a big house). I looked at the Panasonic system that replaced it (a few years ago), but couldn't convince myself to spend that much money. Then one day I went a little crazy in Staples and bought a Siemens 2.4 GHz system. It includes a digital answering machine in the base station, support 2 outside lines and up to 8 cordless phones. You can intercom between any of them. All phones have caller-ID and you can listen to messages on any of the phones. The phones are very small and come with a belt clip and a jack for a head-phone. They have enough range to cover most of my property. My wife has one complaint - she can't page over the speakers like she used too - so can't raise the kid when he's playing the drums. I have one complaint - when dropped on the slate floors, the slate wins. The phones are all still working, but the LCD's are getting flaky. I don't know why, but this was one of the few times I didn't buy an extended warranty.
