	Nawww, one is virtually dead (rarely starts up, and when it does it
looks yellowish.......guess that would be a dead blue channel), the
other is an ancient Acer monitor off a 486/66 that you can't have,
'cause in all seriousness, I'm planning on using it for an EFIS display
in *my* eventual cockpit. :) That would be after I get my old junk
cardboard 500mhz protest case mod going again (
http://rtccom.net/~mattb/case_mod.html ) and install a network
card.........although the recent relapse of my longtime R/C insanity
disease is zapping up funds I'd briefly considered using on cockpit
stuff and other projects. :)
