(Ramblings) I Love The Smell Of Cathod Ray Tubes In The Morning

I think I just blew one of my monitors.  It doesn't show any picture, the buttons don't respond, and the power LED blinks bright green then dim green, which is different from the no signal pattern (bright green then bright orange).  It survived falling on the floor, being attatched to a SPARC (SPARCs start their resolutions in the four-digit pixel width, and that's just for a console), and who knows what else abuse.  What finally killed it was switching the resolution down to 800x600.

If there's one upside, at least this one didn't produce any nasty smelling smoke.
