Hi Mark,

Well, I purchased a Westinghouse L2210NW at Best Buy for ~$270, about as
good a price as I could get on the Samsung you recommended. I've yet to
configure it, but it meets the exact same specs you advised for the
Samsung, so I decided to buy it. So far, so good. The display is *huge*,
and I'm hoping that a few annoyances wil be cleared up after I fully
configure it for my nVidia 7600GS.

I plan to purchase one of those Samsungs for the main room, as soon as
the cash reserves are up again.

Any suggestions for xorg.conf ? I figure to just let the nVidia
configurator do its stuff, then I'll tweak as needed.

I also bought a 4-slice toaster, but it doesn't run Linux. :(

As always, thanks for the help, it is most appreciated here in the
hinterlands.

Btw, did anyone else happen to read about the Wall Street Journal's
"interviews" with residents of Findlay OH ? Yep, that's my hometown, and
yep, this place is filled with knee-jerk reactionaries.

Best,

dp
