Maybe the monitor has a problem. Return it. Buy Mac mini and monitor from Costco (if they have them) or Apple at same time. Good service is worth every cent.

Hal, did you by any chance play in the movie 2001? ;) ;D Inquiring bots want to know!
I'm sorry Mountaineer, I'm afraid I can't do that.... ;)

But this is my favourite scene!

Re: Do you listen to Scott Adams?

I guess it’s a symptom of a larger phenomenon: the forum is a ghost town. Personally, I prefer a forum with infrequent, well reasoned and thoughtful posts to one with incessant arguments about trivia..... Of course, frequent , well reasoned posts would be even better! ;D ps: For infrequent posts =>...

I just finished watching Mad Max for the first time ever. I honestly don’t get the hype. The movie was very meh to me. I also now especially don’t get why Bogleheads always refer to the “Mad Max scenario” when discussing gold as an investment. Does anyone really think that this corresponds with rea...

Smithers,

Perhaps you could get your Canadian friends to turn off the smoke a bit. ;) Really bad here today. Hope the fire fighters stay safe and get things under control soon. They have a nasty, dangerous job that we should all be thankful for their efforts.

Who was baked by mistake in a pie.
