Re: [PLUG] near total kablooie

I bought a refurb monitor one time.  I made the mistake of letting them 
give me a monitor from stock instead of the one I actually looked at to 
make my decision.  It had problems so I drove many miles to get a 
replacement.  The replacement eventually had problems and failed.

Although, the monitor in front of me was purchased new, it has been 
randomly turning blue.

*Final answer: Buy a new, high quality monitor with a good warranty.*

As far as KVMs go, why bother?  Why not use VNC or something like that?
