Out with the Old, In with New

This hulk of a monitor has served long past its time and began to signal its fatigue by making earthquake-like jiggles with flashing lights and prolonged aftershocks. I bought a new, flat monitor but hesitated to hook it up, being a big technophobe. After many pep talks by my daughter, my neighbor and some readers, I finally made the change.

As I suspected, the need to lighten up photos was actually due to the old monitor. The new one is much brighter. My flower file looks great and in general things look much better. Tinky Winky approves.

I am still much more confident at wrangling things in the yard than in the computer department. But I have to admit, you all were right - it was a simple change that did not deserve the drama I built up in my head over it.

Thanks to all for humoring me in my ineptitude.
