A: 9 years, tons more power and storage, less weight, and more usability, [...]

Thumbs Up for AMW 19″ LCD Monitor for $129
Last week I purchased an AMW 19 inch LCD from Fry’s for $169, with a $30 rebate (now, if I can just get it into the mail). Running it off of my Dell Latitude notebook as a secondary monitor, it extends my desktop very nicely. At first I noticed a little bit of flicker, but [...]
