Blue Screen blues

I apologize for the irregularity of posts at the moment. My monitor appears to be in its death throes. I've forgotten what a white screen looks like, but when it's pink, I can still work, albeit a strain on the eyes, However, when it goes into its blue stage, it's virtually impossible to see what's on it. A few minutes of straining and squinting to make out 50% of what's there, and the eyes scream "ENOUGH! What have we ever done to you to deserve this?"

Anyway, it's been in blue stage all weekend, and still is, but hopefully it'll feel neglected and go back to pink for a while - then I'll attack again!

See you when I can!

Heard of pink elephants, but blue screens? Hope you get it fixed soon.

Hi Sailor,
Thanks. It's back to pink for the moment, so I can actually see something! I guess I'll have to replace it. Until now blue was my favourite colour, but I'm having second thoughts.

Pink elephants? Yup, if I remember correctly, they appeared a few hours before a mammoth hangover!
