How to Clean a LCD Screen?

2007-04-28 Thread Eactivist
With my old monitor, I just spray it with Windex. The surface of a LCD screen appears much more fragile and mine now has spots (I confess, I sometimes eat at the computer). Any suggestions? TIA, Marnie aka the messy eater :-) - Warning: I am

Most folks do confuse f-stop with aperture, I sure used to. However, they are not the same thing. So you are mistaken here (I have not looked at the Wikipedia article to see if it is correct or not). I am not going to go through all this again, folks, look in the archives; or better yet, get

Since the 70mm has a slightly smaller aperture opening at f/4.0 than the 85's, it should have a slightly greater DOF. However, since marked f-stops are never very accurate, it probably is within the DOF spread of the 85mm's. -graywolf William Robb wrote: - Original Message -

Subtract the tax and you're getting closer to fuel prices. The problem is that it takes about 1 1/4 gallons of petroleum fuel to produce 1 gallon of ethanol from corn or soy beans. It's a bad trade. It's like losing money on every sale and making up the difference on volume... Bob Shell
