And now the monitor

So, last night (Friday night), I was bopping along reading email, newsletters, etc., when my monitor went wonky. Now, darker elements on the screen cause darker bands to appear the full width of the screen. I't still legible, but all the text is ghosted, and there are random bands everywhere. I kind of expected better from ViewSonic. I mean, this monitor is just around three years old. If only I could afford an LCD monitor at the resolution I would like (1600x1200). Sadly, even another 19" monitor is kind of out of the question.

Man, I hate debt. Avoid it if at all possible (house and car don't count — at least you have something to show for it).

I'll try to (avoid debt)...it's not so easy during college, though.

My monitor is about 6 or 7 years old--it's a 19 incher too. No problems yet. Not that I'm rubbing anything in. I'm probably just jinxing it.
