Are we having fun, yet?

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett

I am not sure.

This new monitor was acting a little odd. Every time I bumped it the signal would go out. Late this afternoon the cable just fell out. Turns out there was a bent pin. This is a very old cable: I've used it with three or four displays over the years.

That was my excuse to go get a DVI cable. The one that came with the monitor wouldn't fit - or so I thought. Let's just say that I made a trip to Fry's in rush hour for nothing. Then I got home and discovered that the hole Paul had drilled in the back of the desk years ago was just the right size for a VGA connector - but too small for a DVI. He's drilled that out, so now I'm back in business.

I spent some serious time color correcting the displays today, and now I suppose I'll have to do it all again. Oh, well.
