What is the *proper manner*? What you think they should do with money? These are grown men and women with families. They can decide what to do with the money. There but for the grace of God go I.

Buying a new computer and cant decide on LCD monitor or regular monitor. Any opinions out there. The
LCD is 325.00 with 1 year warranty.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
The CMT exam is overrated. Don't waste your time & money. Use that money on
paid anymore just because you have it. There are a few CMT cheerleaders that post to people like you but they are pretty well sucked up into that association.
Yeah, money, that's it. I paid $20.00 for my dog. Money is NOT THE ISSUE
walk him daily, play ball daily, he sleeps in my office daily while I work. Yeah, I got a lot of money, NOT HARDLY. And, my dog is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY ABUSED because he wears a collar around his neck. It's people like you that make me sick. I am done defending my use of the shock collar. I am going to continue with it and my dog will continue to be pampered , educated, fed, kept warm, and love me for everything that I do for him even when I remind him that his barking needs to stop. So, with that said, I will not respond to any more of your CRAP in reference to the shock collar.
Money is money and most people will do whatever it takes when in need. sm
if you do bring it to the attn of the office manager, why not offer her a raise to compensate. it is obvious she just needs or wants more money than your office is paying her. I agree, it is a free country and although it seems odd, unless you had it outlined in contract, she can work for whomever or whereever she pleases on the side. at least she is typing and not at a strip joint, lol. I see no conflict of interest, she has experience obviously in whichever field you are in and what is wrong with doing extra in that field. i agree with MYOB "nicely" and concentrate on your reports than looking at older reports and seeing who they are typed by.
Are you a monitor here?

I luv my LCD monitor
Not much to assemble. It's really a matter of popping the two cords into the back of the monitor. It'll take you about 15 minutes from start to finish ... that includes opening the box, taking out everything, reading the directions, connecting the monitor, installing the software), and throwing the box out.
monitor
If you use your computer a lot, plan on buying a lot of batteries or having a backup for a wireless with a charger.
As for monitors, you can get them on pricewatch pretty cheap now. I actually bought my son a 21 inch Sony on ebay for 200 including shipping. For my own 19 inch, I bought it at a rent-to-own furniture store. Once they have them a few months, they sell them and I bought it for 40. and it's like new.
Monitor
Yes! Yes! Yes! I recently got a flat-screen and I love,love, love it. I have a Sceptre which I bought at Wal-Mart for about $150.00. Best thing I ever did. It really cut down on my headaches. Get a flat-screen. You will not be sorry. I promise. :)
Well I DO need a big monitor...
these days. After hitting 40, my eyesight definitely isn't what it used to be, LOL!
monitor
i used to have this happen, and with mine, it was not a precursor to going out. But i can't remember what supposedly caused it -- power surge, interference?? but in my case, led to no other problems.
Monitor......
Buy a shield or screen for the monitor that minimizes glare from the lightsource.
Need help with monitor
I recently had a monitor conk out, so I got the one out that came with my personal computer (a couple years old but never used).
Everything was fine for a few weeks but lately, out of the blue, my page will shift to the right for no apparent reason (leaving 1-1/2 inch of black on the left and the right edge of the page not in view) and then it will shift back at some point.
When I press on the monitor menu button, nothing happens at all. I know when I first set it up, the menu and selections worked fine.
Any idea what is happening here? 
Do you use more than one monitor?...
My husband and I "built" our new computer on Dell's website last night, and they are offering a second monitor for a very reasonable rate. My question is, does anyone have this set-up using 2 monitors to work? I didn't quite see the use for 2, but maybe to have one just for typing, and the other for my references?
Apparently, it is set up that you just have to move your mouse and it will move over to the other screen....seems easy enough. But, I don't know if it would be worth the extra space it would take up on my desk and work area. So,does anyone have this set-up and consider it a must?
Thanks very much for your help! 
What monitor do you have?
This has nothing to do with the monitor...sm
It's about how the page will be printed:
Portrait or Landscape.
Click on 'File'
Click on 'Page Set Up'
Then you have the option: Portrait or Landscape, click how you want it printed.
Portrait prints it vertical
Landscape horizontal (for longer lines)
Cat sits on monitor.

Need to get a new PC monitor, need opinions
Anyone with flat panels, how do you like them? Any problems with them?

Thank you Monitor/Admin !! nm

Try moving your monitor up or down, too. sm
When my monitor is not positioned correctly, I get terrible neck aches and headaches. Sometimes just a half inch really makes a difference. Or even move your keyboard up or down. When I worked at the hospital, maintenance had to move my whole desk up onto 2 x 4's to give me that little bit of extra I needed and then I was comfortable. They had a desk made for kids that I had to sit at. It was really cramped.
guy got me a Hyundai monitor.....sm
Believe it or not, Hyundai sells monitors for around $140. It was compatible with the Dell. Hope that helps :)
What size is your monitor?
Just wondering what everyone uses. I use a 17 inch but would like a 19 or 21. I like mine big, but my mom who is also an MT says when the monitor is too big it slows down her production because her eyes have to travel further back and forth to read what she is typing. LOL Everyone is different. I've seen these huge monitors at the computer stores lately, widescreen, like 30 inches, and they look pretty cool. So...what size monitor does everyone use or would like to use? Thanks!
the monitor in question is over 5 yrs old
if you're lucky.....and to have a monitor for 5 years is a GREAT amount of time. Poster is lucky! 
Hanging monitor
I heard about monitors that you can hang sideways, which helps you see the full page at once instead of having to scroll down. Apparently the monitor has a setting to change the image to sideways or something. Could improve your efficiency. That's what I'd get if I were in the market for a monitor.
I use the monitor controls. You can
gray-down the tone of the monitor brightness quite a bit, at least on the monitors I've had.
Monitor question
I have an Acer desktop which came with standard monitor. If I go larger screen, will it work well? I was given a Dell monitor and plugged it into my Acer and all it did was flicker and give me big trouble. I have never tried flat screen but hate to spend money on something that won't be compatible. Could I also plug it into my laptop and have it work?
Monitor recommendation
My monitor is starting to go, and I have to replace it. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm considering a flat-screen to better maximize my limited desk space. Anyone use one?
What brand of LCD monitor to buy? sm
I am really troubled by eye strain ... got new computer glasses from eye doc but still not happy ... a number of people have said I should swap my CRT monitor out for a flat screen LCD. I'm game to do it, but have been reading reviews until I'm brain-dead! Thought maybe you folks here might share what brand of LCD you are using, and if you are happy with it for word processing. I hear some are better for text than others, and I don't want to shell out the bucks without looking into it. TIA!
flickering monitor
Are your plugs pushed in all the way--since brand new monitor--I'd think loose connection first. Or could be the wrong resolutions settings were chosen.
Monitor... please check out an ad...sm
on jobs.mtstars.com... Two inappropriate ads placed. Both came up under search under sears all and Workers' Comp.
Thanks for maintaining a great board and your attention on this!
Size of monitor
What size of monitor are you using??? I am seriously considering buying a new one and would appreciate input as to what people have, including brand suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestion for a monitor that
does not cause eyestrain. It would be much appreciated.
Definitely recommend second monitor
You can buy a VGA adapter at Best Buy (plugs in USB) that you can hook a second monitor up to without having to install a new video card. As for good prices on monitors check ebay. I'm getting ready to buy my third one!!!
Monitor problem....help please....
I woke up this morning, and there is a two inch blacked out column on the left hand side of my monitor/desktop. My whole desktop is moved over two inches and I can't get over there to work on the missing two inches.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I tried searching on the web, and I found someone who asked this exact question last year, but no one answered him.
Rebooting/restarting does not fix the problem.
Any help would be appreciate.
TIA
THank you! Many people have access at this monitor.
Thank you!!
Question for anyone with an LCD Monitor. See message.
Question for people on LCD monitor. Is there a reason the typing seems not solid black in spots and more lighter and darker in the words.
Monitor heaters are WONDERFUL!!! SM
Fortunately, we have a Monitor heater which is maybe the most efficient
heater you can buy..we burn kerosene..we have a 250/gal tank..yesterday
we got 100 gal. at 3.36/gal..that will hold us pretty good for quite a
while and in the meantime we'll be buying 10 gal. at a time wherever
we can find it cheaper which at this point is 30 miles away. We live
in the mountains and it gets very cold up here and stays cold til
April. I set it on 58 before I go to bed..the heater kicks on at 58 and
heats it up to 4 degrees higher. In the daytime I'll keep it on 64 and
we'll be wearing more clothes.
Well nothing is working so I am not sure what to do. Monitor could you check your end to see if
there is a problem. I wonder if Norton Internet Security could be a problem. I can get into other web sites and move around in them and open up everything but not this one.
Monitor/Admin answered that below
http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/34560.html
Is your monitor at direct eye level and sm
is your keyboard on a tray that puts it at an easily reachable level..you don't want to be reaching UP with your arms and looking UP for the monitor. Everything should be at an easy reach.
My monitor is slowly dying...sm
I have a Dell computer and monitor, but my monitor appears to be on its last leg. I'm already looking for its replacement but instead of ordering another Dell, does anyone know of any other brands that are compatible or not compatible with Dell? I'd really rather not pay the shipping from Dell, but I do remember when I originally purchased the computer my printer was not compatible. Thanks for your help.
