| 193532 | 2003-11-21 21:51:00 | Hmmmm....... Nine years old and still in use? I don't think it owes you anything neddy so if it is still going just let it die naturally. If the thought of a breakdown worries you, just replace it, or alternatively never leave it running unattended. The risk is minimal, but any electronic device with high voltages and high energy levels involved can catch fire if particular faults occur, so my monitor is set to go into standby after 10 minutes without computer use and I always turn it off if I am going to be away from my office for any length of time.

| 193534 | 2003-11-22 03:32:00 | Heh, never mind the KXT (will just tell the missus to switch it off when she's not in front of it as you suggest) I'm still using a 9 year old ViewSonic 17", now on it's 4th computer I think (started out on a 33Mhz 486!) Reluctant to ditch it as it's still going great, apart from a very occasional dry joint gremlin which disappears with a smack. And it cost me around two grand! cheers Neddy |
