Learning new things everyday.

No, I did not experience writers block.

I just lost the feel to write ever since my Acer computer monitor blew up during a thunderstorm. The excuse was, I am not able to upload pictures from my Blackberry. Then I discovered I can download the Blackberry device manage into my note book. Did that but it kept promting,...you need to change screen resolution....shit! now what am I supposed to do? So I gave up.

Meantime, I went around to check out for a 2nd hand computer monitor. A 19" Acer cost RM260 a piece whereas a brand new Samsung monitor is RM290. Tesco Extra selling the latest model Acer monitor for RM326, and it is the cheapest among its range.

Going to IOI or Law Yat was totally out of the picture. Too far and I will go crazy with the choices available. I also asked around colleagues at work if any of them willing to sell a 2nd hand monitor, I don't care, at this rate any brand would do. A few showed their interest but after a day or two,...quiet and no news.  Finally Chander said he has a friend who owns a computer shop in Port Dickson.  It was easy dealing with him. I told him if I can get a new Acer monitor within my budget of RM230, go ahead and buy. So that's what he did. Though it exceeded RM29 from my initial budget, I went for the latest 18.5' model from Acer and with 3 years warranty!

The monitor was delivered to my door and like a child, I was excited with my new toy. Opened up the box and assembled the computer stand. Hooked it to the CPU, plug it to the extension cord and taa, daa....it sits perfectly. Not functioning yet though. Need to wait for my IT expert (hubby) to set up the software..... heheheh....The monitor was covered with a white plastic and some instructions,...and that was when I discovered that screen resolution can be changed in the control panel! Ghezzzz.

So tonight I changed the screen resolution on my note book and I'm back writing. Now I not only can upload pictures from my Blackberry into the Acer PC, I too can also do it into my note book.
