Subj : hello! :DD To : Ed Vance From : AKAcastor Date : Fri Apr 19 2024 10:52:50 EV> The 15" 'er was priced at $535 USD back then in Computer Shopper's EV> Magazine. MAG's 17" 'er was priced at +$700 bucks then. EV> I had seen 17" Monitors at the Service Merchandise store and drooled at EV> the size of the screen. Oh boy monitors used to be expensive didn't they! I don't remember for sure if the monitor on my 486 was 15" or 14", I used it for several years though until around 2000 when I got a 17" LCD and never went back to CRT after that. That first LCD was pretty expensive, but they dropped price relatively quickly as far as this stuff goes. I currently have a pair of HP 38" widescreen curved monitors on my desk and it's absolutely ridiculous. Sitting at a big desk and the screens stick out past both sides of the desk! One of these screens would be great, but the company I contracted for sent me two screens so I felt the need to set them both up for ultimate overkill. ;) EV> The 6 point something inch screen on this phone EV> (Motorola g play 2023) looks to EV> me better than the screens on the smaller Cellphones. EV> I turned Auto Rotate on so the image of the Keyboard looks larger. EV> The longer span of Keys helps Me not have to tap the It's tolerable, at least I can Communicate with others on this BBS. We've come a long way, now with communication devices in our pocket that link us to BBSes almost anywhere we go! In the early 90s I thought it would be amazing to have a cellular modem and laptop to connect to BBSes from anywhere -I never did get to dial in over a cell connection, but now I have a terminal app on my phone and don't even need the laptop to connect to BBSes. It's kinda great, but also I miss going out and being disconnected. Access to BBSes from anywhere = great, access to internet from anywhere = too much!
