There are some projects on my desktop computer that are just too much of a hassle to port to my laptop (old Visual Studio is like that). So I was working on my desktop and found that my colors for a recent project that I was looking at on my laptop were all f'd up. I'm so annoyed with those monitors because they've never been sharp and I've never been able to get the color right.
So then I see that with a coupon, the 20" Dell widescreen monitor is only $525. At it's core, it's the same LCD as the one in the Apple monitor. Dammit. Why must I be tempted with things like this? I can't beat this need to buy something!
