My parents were here today, to celebrate my birthday (it's tomorrow, the 13th), and as a present, they got me a Samsung SyncMaster 225BW—22 inches of pure widescreen TFT beauty. And it's really awesome. Going from an old, crummy CRT to this baby, running at a sweet 1680x1050 (the maximum my card can handle—I could never run anything this high on my previous monitor) is really, really cool. This is so much nicer, in so many ways—not least of all it's better on my eyes since I don't have to strain to read text any more. Thanks, mom and dad. I love you both.
