Re: [SaF] Comments and Q about monitor
Sounds like your power supply on the monitor got zapped. That's the same symptoms I had when mine went out recently. Could have had it fixed for $99.00 (17), but I'd already done that once the previous year, so I had the perfect excuse to upgrade to a 19! Harry Texas - Original Message - From: K. Bryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 8:52 AM Subject: [SaF] Comments and Q about monitor | The monitor Q first: | Why does it flicker from purple to blues and back to white? It's | intermittant, but when it flickers, it FLICKERS!! I can always read the | screen, just in shades of magenta, indigo, and polar whites. Does it have | anything to do with the following story? Please say no!! :o( | | Begin Story: | | Oddly enough, when I had that virus that destroyed my computer last week, I | also found out, one appliance at a time over the next 2 days, that a few of | my other electronic devices weren't working. | | Let me explain further: | Tuesday night (at the height of the virus thing here at my house), we also | had a HUGE electrical storm. Now, I am totally immortal and invincable | ::snicker:: so I didn't think to turn off any of my major running | appliances such as computer, microwave, stereo, TVs and computer monitor. | | OK.. So I woke up the morning on Wednesday I think it was, after I had | bought all new components for my computer -- rip roaring and ready to tackle | the project myself -- and I go to make my coffee in the microwave . Not | workingAnd I blame it on my son who (although not home at the time to | hear me rant) is NOTORIOUS for sneaking non-food items into the microwave | just to see how they melt. Peeved, I move to the stove to heat up my | coffee the old fashioned way. | | With hot coffee in hand, I get into my home office and (try to) click on my | stereo. Ummm .. no luck. I check the plug. Yep. Plugged in. I check the | security switch on the back that prevents little fingers from accessing | the settings (Aiwa thinks outside the box). It's activated, but the stereo | is not. It's as dead as the microwave. | | In the interim, I go to the control panel (on the house not the computer) | and throw al the switches. let them rest in the off position for 2 mins, | and then reset them all to ON. | | NOPE. | | OK. So now I'm getting suspicious (and feeling guilt over the blame the | child reaction from earlier). | | I turned on the other radio - it worked fine. But it was unplugged all night | with its cord wrapped around the casing. Go Figure! | | OK.. on to the computer repairs. So I go to power on the computer and it | TOO was dead as a narc at a biker rally. The power strip had no red light | indicating it's power-on state. I took that sucker apart, you can believe | it! Totally dead secondary to the fuse inside having been burned out. | | By now, you KNOW I was thinking about the electrical storm that had hit the | night before last. | | All of my damaged appliances were covered by my homeowner's policy except my | desktop computer. I intentionally left it off the policy so my rates would | not be raised since my agent didn't know I was working out of my home. | (ASIDE: The laptop was not plugged in, but safely stored in it's case) | | OK ... to sum up this painfully expensive story, KM should: | | (1) Power off and UNPLUG all appliances that she just can't live without in | the event of a powers surge/lightening strike. | (2) Pay the extra $ to buy a new power strip every 2 years, not evey 9 | years. | (3) Learn to use the stove more often to make convection-heated coffee. It | tasted unusually wonderful that day sans the radiation. | (4) Pay the extra $ for the policy that covers equipment for those of us who | work out of their homes. | (5) As good as Aiwa is, never trust their (or anyone's!) circutry and fuses | to keep a power surge from killing your system. | (6) Admit to your mistakes, and apologize to your son for falsely accusing | him of destroying yet another microwave. | | | So what's up with my monitor now??? | | | | | |

I originally had it working properly and then one day when I noticed the links in eBay were no longer highlighting themselves after I visited them... I started messing around somewhere with the colors.. it didn't help... the end result of that fix (to get the links to highlight as *visited* was to purge the area where I had the browser holding 999 days worth of info)... I completely forgot where I went and what I did while *messing around* and so I don't know how to go back on my own and undo whatever I did to cause the background colors of a website to now be overwriting into basic white ... I know that I should go to a computer tech type list to get the fix --- which one ?? thanks for listening... ~Patti

Most of the sellers on the web speak of a "cast phenolic resin" as the composition of their balls. So the answer to your question is that the modern billiards balls are made of a "mighty hard plastic." :-) Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
