Who Still Uses Old Monitors? 305
skurrier asks: "Reading the comments for a totally unrelated article, an almost off topic post caught my eye: Someone said that they still had a Sun branded Sony GDM class monitor from way back, and (of course) it rocked then and still rocks. (Sorry, can't find the article, yet alone the comment) As I looked across my desk to that similar Sun branded Sony behemoth plugged into my PC I asked myself: How many people still use ancient monitors? And more importantly, what is the oldest monitor you still use regularly?"

Seriously though, it's real. It has a vga connector and can do 640x480 in 4 glorious shades of gray.

But my main monitor now is my 23" Apple Cinedisplay. Who needs anything else?!

Bolding text was a real fun task... A{backspace}AL {backspace}LP {backspace}PO {backspace}O {space}.
Or counting out letters so that you could center text on the page properly.
My first printer was an electronic typewriter hooked up to a serial port on the computer. Boy did that prove difficult (spent a day at the local repair shop getting them to make it work). Not to mention trying to print a 20 page term-paper and making sure the form-fed paper stayed aligned (no sprockets).
