I'm waiting for the monitor salesmen to start calling, or at least
leaving e-mail messages...
"Being that you are still browsing the web with an antiquated 17"
monitor, and missing the visual splendor of 1600 x 1200 pixel screen
size, we have an offer you can't refuse..." "Act now, before you're the
last one on your block who isn't watching internet porn on a wide 21"
screen!" "Imagine the colors, the detail and definition you are
missing... No more squinting! No more wondering it that's a freckle or a
pimple on his/her butt! A 21" monitor is like looking through your
neighbor's window with high priced binoculars!"
"Don't wait another minute, don't become an overnight Luddite, click
this link, and just say "yes" to our special offer... you won't regret it!
Scanners... oh, I thought you said scammers! (sorry, never mind!)
