New Monitor Smell

I managed to blow one of my monitors (the 15" one) back in July (as mentioned previously).  I did my usual thing after something like that happens, namely I complained to anyone who would listen.  Whilst mentioning it to Boyd the fact that I could likely acquire a cheap monitor through a co-worker of his arose.  (To make a long story short:  she wanted a new computer, but in order to qualify for some sort of discount she needed to buy a monitor.  She already had a perfectly serviceable monitor, so she was just going to sell the new one off.)  Unfortunately, my financial difficulties prevented me from gaining a monitor in this manner, and I was unable to make it to the government sale to procure another used one.

Fast forward to about two weeks ago, and I receive a message from Boyd.  "I will probably have an early Christmas present for you soon."  A bit more prying and I find out he's bought the monitor and will be up to drop it off eventually.  Well, eventually was yesterday, and am now once again basking in the radiation of a dual-monitor setup.  Only this time I now have two 17" displays.  The only downside is that the entire apartment stinks of new monitor.  Well, that and I have to think up a really good Christmas present to buy Boyd as thanks.
