Hi Paul, FYI I paid the 30 inch lcd monitor under my own pocket under my name while I was working in SoftTech four years ago and the lcd monitor I am programming using Visual Studio to learn new skills i.e. mdx BI in my own time and at my home and also use for my photography hobby. I did not ask SoftTech to pay for the lcd monitor, otherwise at the time I left SoftTech, they would take away my lcd monitor as this would be company asset. The company just paid for my salary for the work I have done in the office. I don't think that will make the lcd monitor qualify for business, right?
