Subject: My monitor is going out........... msg.

It started with a couple lines at the top this morning. By this afternoon, it literally looked like it was raining inside my monitor... with gray "puddles" at the bottom. Then a few hours ago I got a tiny black dot in the middle at the top of the screen. It has gone from a pencil-tip size to larger than a quarter in a couple hours. It's like a big black hole that is swallowing my screen. It is so weird.

Luckily my system is still under warranty, and Dell is sending out a new monitor ASAP. Unfortunately, it won't arrive till next week. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to use this one that long, as the "big black hole" is growing very rapidly. It's has gotten bigger just in the time it's taken me to type this... and I type fast! LOL

So..... if I'm not around again, it's because I am puter-less. I can check from work, but I'm only working half days Wednesday thru Friday, and I'm off this weekend.

Keep your paws crossed that this monitor hangs onto life for another week!!!

This doesn't sound good, Vicki, but thank the good Lord that it's under warranty. And thank God too for half days. I don't know how you do it, being on your feet that long. I blew my back (sciatica) out yesterday just before we left for pool and I can hardly walk. So, of course, I played last night, hobbling around the table, and lost to a kid who didn't look any older than Travis. And that bugs me. It's the heating pad for me today.
