    Of course, another way to control its population growth is to have a nice juicy war to rid itself of the lower castes.

    Take a piece of large paper. Cut a hole in it 1.5" by 2.25". Cover your monitor with this piece of paper. Now start using your computer like this and you will experience things just as if you had this service on a cell phone in your neck 'o the woods.

    > use the Microsoft Update pages

    And what if someone finds a way to hack Microsoft Update pages? Then everyone who downloads will be infected. Call me paranoid, but I find this scarier than some IIS hack. How can you trust the Evil Empire not to bugger up your machine for you? I've already had my share of bunged up systems because some file wouldn't download from one of Microsoft's servers.

    The 1600SW is still one of the best flat panels on the market - bar none. They are so good that I have more than one. Yeah, the overpriced Apple Cinema thing may be physically bigger, but it has the same X by Y resolution, and because of that minor fact, you can see the [blocky] pixels - ick!

    The video card you want is the 3Dlabs VX1-1600SW with the 1600SW digital connector or an older Number Nine Revolution IV with 1600SW digital connector (if you can find one). Windows 9X, NT4, 2000 and the latest XFree86 4.X support both cards just fine. If that fails, get it with the MultiLink adapter. If SGI's promotion price, $1495 for 1600SW and MultiLink adapter are too much, check out 1600SW auctions on eBay. But beware, SGI gives you a three year warranty and the people on eBay won't.
