ERGH!

Ok, so my boss/buddy and I go in on an ebay auction together. We end up with 8 or 9 9600's w/G3 upgrades, 3 or 4 7500's, a lot of monitors, Zip and Jaz drives and disks, external HD's, and associated crap...

The pride and joy of the haul were the two (count'em two) NEC MultiXync XM37 Plus 37 inch monitors. That's right, thirty-freakin-seven inches of multimedia monitor. One for him, one for me. Groovy-groovy...

Well, the one that I was going to take was blurry at resolutions higher than 800x600, so we pop the case open and find the focus controls and start to fix that. Then we see the "reset" switch...

I tell him to click the reset (cuz it might help)...

Now, there's no picture at all. None. Nada. Zilch. Zero. This... is an Ex-monitor.

ERGH!
