New monitor! 1920x1200!!

Wheeeee!!!!

(ok, so it's only an extra 320 pixels per scanline, but replacing my trusty-but-hulking old 19" Iiyama with this Dell calls for a small w00t!, I think :)

Now to see if I can fit one of ramtops's old 1280x1024 NECs where my current (1024x768) monitor monitor sits on the shelves, and use that to replace the server monitor on the KVM next door.

Hmmm...

After my head finished imploding, I actually agree: what would Miéville, from his socialist perspective, do with the politics of Herbert's 'verse?
