If you don't know, I moved from Kentucky to California and behold.. I finally have my computer! I've missed this place a lot!

Unfortunately, my monitor is totally trashed.... The plastic casing is all bent up, smashed and torn. Surprisingly, it still works fairly well (albeit the color has changed a bit and the corners are blurrier).. But my computer is indeed usable and I shall use it!

Fortunately, I paid a little extra for shipping insurance.. My monitor is insured for 700 dollars so I'm hoping to get this thing fixed, replaced or refunded. I'm very sad about this though because I love my monitor so much.

Anyhow, glad to be back! Hopefully, I will start replying regularly soon.
 
It's good to have you back Rick. That sucks about your monitor though. I am sure the shipping company will do something about it, especially since it is insured. And just curious, but how much was your monitor? 700$ seems like quite a bit for a monitor, so it must have been a nice one. Anyway, you WERE missed and it is good to see you back in action.

How is life in Cali compared to Kentucky?
 
It's a 22" NEC flatscreen.. Rather nice monitor I believe, but I got it on sale for something in the neighborhood of 400 dollars.

The guy that looked at it to insure it appraised it as 700 dollars, so I got the 700 dollar insurance for it.

Life in Cali is a little different, but not a whole lot. I live downtown in Santa Cruz, as opposed to a field 20 miles away from the nearest store. ;)
 
Now that your not living in the sticks is the possibility of broadband finally available to you? Glad your back since the has been quite a few people whose lives have meant they have not been around the forums as much as they would have liked... :)

Welcome back Rick.

I'll again offer my condolences on your monitor and hope that the UPS man meets an unfortunate fate at the hands of an angry pitbull. :evil:
