Two 25 spindles of Verbatim DVD+R. One MBI made and one CMC made printables. I'm curious how they turn out. I had very good experience with MBI made Verbatim's before, but the CMC ones i bought last time disappointed me a little bit. I wonder if the printables are any better.

Dell 2407WFP 24" LCD Monitor.
(with bundled Razor Diamondback Chameleon Mouse & Sennheiser PC131 headset).

Acer AL2216WD 22" LCD monitor.

Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer.

Boss gave me a bonus with the stipulation that it needed to be spent before the end of the financial year (30th June).

Couldn't think of anything, so I just went with a big LCD screen (still using a little 19" Flat CRT monitor atm).

I'm slightly worried that the 24" quite won't fit on my desK

Yo Honeybuns-

Actually - it is a problem I have had since puberty - the stick is too large - wide and long for the new hole - but fit in the old hole just fine - so had to acquire a smaller-shorter-narrower stick to fit in the new hole and got three 'cause they were cheap and just made it ofer the $50 threshold for free shipping-eh!!

I just bought a 10 disc pack of Gigatain 8x DVD+R ("Assembled in Germany"), apparently fake MCC 003 from Hong Kong.
The 10 pack was sold for € 2.25 - I know why they were so cheap, so I bought them just for fun

Just had this flash vision of three OF's down to the nudie bar - remembering their accomplishments in the 60's - 70's - 80's and early 90's sipping beers - bending over their spare tires to hand the lasses dollar bills whilst the spotlight reflects off their bald spots-eh!!

No bald spot here, but maybe a little grey...or maybe a lot...
I really don't remember much of the 60's...
Got plenty of dollar bills though...

Arrr .. mine wasn't the best though
Twas an el cheapy I bought 3months after I graduated Uni ... and was just starting to feel all cashed up

The fixed resolutions are a pain .. but on the the other hand, the supported resolutions on a digital monitor are damn fine when compared to their analogue counterparts

I am curious to see their longevity though ... this crappy 19" monitor is in it's 6th year & going strong
Similarly, Movies & Games at low/standard Definition res stretched to HD res... hmm ...
