Re: Monitors
You might want to check out the ASUS ProArt monitor series. I have a 24" ProArt that is seven years old and still going strong. I calibrate it about every 30 days and find there is generally little or no drift in the calibration, and it syncs nicely with my Epson P-700. When it comes time to replace this monitor I'd have no hesitation going with the ProArt again. Amazon and B seem to price the 32" in the $700 range. https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ProArt/ -p On 6/7/2022 7:34 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I’m considering getting a new monitor.

Re: New computer woes.
It may also be the due to the supply chain crap Covid introduced. I've noticed other inexplicable shortages It's probably just laziness. I hadn't really looked on-line. When I need a mouse, I'm used to just going to Staples or Office Depot and buying a generic corded wheel mouse. I really should just go on Amazon, find one I like and buy a dozen of them. I can't use those track-pads that come with laptops, so the first thing I do is disable it and get an external mouse ... which is where I developed an aversion to wireless mice. Early generation wireless mice were pretty awful. The last time I had to buy a replacement mouse for my laptop, I was out of town and the only place I could find one was Walmart, and I ended up with an expensive gaming mouse (which ain't one whit better than the generic mice I usually get from Staples/Office Depot).

I don't think new computers come with the PS/2 mouse or keyboard ports. This computer has what look like HDMI ports where I'd expect them to be on the mother board. Clean, basic scroll mouse on a clean mouse pad. Optical sensor is clean. I haven't tried moving the mouse to a different USB port because they're all full, so I'd have to move everything. The mouse works Ok on my other computer ... I thought to check that. The mouse from the other computer IS a PS/2 mouse so it doesn't work on this computer. Windoze thinks the drivers are up to date. If it was any of the easy answers I'd have already found it. I hope I don't have to buy another mouse. These plain vanilla wired mice are getting hard to find. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
