The standards seem to be changing - not quite as fast as my fogey eyes are - so that 17" is no longer considered large for a monitor. The economy may make it difficult to upgrade right now, but new computers where I work have bigger monitors. I have asked for and received larger monitors in the past (when the standards were smaller), and am about ready to do so again. Monitors are just far enough away that I really don't *need* glasses for them (my long distance vision is still better than 20-20, if not as good as it once was). But I work better with reading glasses, and I am more productive when I can read more with my terminal program. I expect I can create a winning case for a new monitor - at least when the budget isn't so bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
