I'm tired too Fran.

Tired of "Progress" messing with consumers. Tired of having to upgrade stuff (even though some of it is 10 yo technology)... Tired of DRM forcing standards and upgrades on people, and the manufacturers go along with it because it means more sales (but doesn't really solve any piracy problems), and just tired of companies (like ATI) dropping support on stuff. And manufacturers not putting (Requires DVI...won't work with DVI to VGA converter) on the OUTSIDE of the box (but put a note on the inside where you can't see it before you buy it...guess I should have looked closer/checked specs).

So now I need a new monitor. Need one anyway. But if I don't have a computer that works well and is supported, I'll go nuts. So here I am, probably should have purchased Nvidia instead of ATI, and now regretting it AGAIN. OTOH...NVidia probably did the same thing. Sigh.

And although there's work-arounds and I could have avoided this whole headache....it's one of the very few things I indulge in every few years (even then I stretch the dollar a lot). Sigh.

Oh well.

Goodnight all.

No problem Fran, Tibs.

It's all solvable...with $$$. Just like everything else. Sigh. I'll kick it.....

:)

and don't second-guess yourself - remember my nvidia fiasco! yup, it was replaced, together with the motherboard, but with the same thing and support is no longer available and hasn't been for long time ;)

    Well we have a total of 24 cabinets (I think) going in the kitchen. I have only 5 cleared and ready so I will be very busy tomorrow. I'm tired just thinking about it. 2 walls are sheetrocked. Tomorrow the other window should be going in so we can finish the wiring and sheetrock that wall. Still tons to go but it's slowly getting there.
