The trip to the UW Surplus store was successful - as this was the last Tuesday of the month, everything was 50% off listed price so the place was packed. Still, I got two nice older DELL keyboards (back when they used to have the clickey key action) (50¢ each), three huge iron woks (about 20" in diameter - $1.50 each. Great metal for art projects!), a cute little chem lab alcohol light (a buck) and a nice small monitor for my radio room.
Most smaller monitors are older monitors and subsequently have a lower resolution. This means that I cannot show as much on a screen but the full-sized monitors of today take up way too much real-estate on my desk (trying to keep everything within hands reach). The one I have now is 1024 X 768 - this new one is 1920 X 1200 so just under three times more dots on the screen. Much better. Oh yeah, that was only $5.00...
Took the dogs for a quick scramble at the dog park (it was raining pretty heavily), picked up our Thanksgiving dinner from Costco and then home
