:laugh: I remember using a piece of cardboard from a PC Gamer magazine with a demo CD to hold it ontop of my POS CRT as some cheap half-assed glareshield. My eyes were always strained and I tried using weaker/fewer lightbulbs. Ended up turning the desk away from the lamp after 6/7 years of going blind. Then came the LCD that had no glare whatsoever...

Remember when there were only 2 colors on monitors - Green and Black

The POS (point of sale) system at my store is an AMD K6 system running Windows 2k. Its getting slow and old but getting the job done...why fix it if it aint broke.

Hell, my first monitor was a 12" green monochrome for my Apple II. It displayed text in the dazzling resolution of 80x24
