My monitor every few seconds just flickers uncrontrollably at work. I think it is already starting to affect my work because when it does it I have to stop whatever I am doing and watch it. It's weird. I think I'm going to have a seizure soon.

If I don't make it, it was nice knowing you.

So what should I do with it once it finally dies?

<ul>
<li>Dispose of it Office Space Fax Machine Style
<li>Just throw it out
<li>Smash it on the ground
<li>Kick it
<li>Find some friends and go fishing with it in Lake Michigan.
</ul>

I think it's time for an upgrade, jack. Get yourself a nice, new 19" monitor - your eyes will thank you for it.

And I would get rid of it Office Space Style - just because that was one of the best scenes in the movie :-D

put in a requisition for it then - tell them you need a larger screen for your eyes. Get your eye doctor to write up a letter if you need to (it worked for me, but my eyes really are shitty).

An alternate version of what Goatweed said....

casually mention that your eyes have really been bothering you, and you might have to file a workman's compensation claim....

crissakes, monitors are dirt cheap. you can get a 17" monitor for, what, $129 now?
even my company isn't that cheap.

Besides the medical problem. Tell them a bigger monitor increases your computer's workspace, therefore increasing your productivity.

We are still using Pentium 1 166 machines with Windows NT 4.0.... if that gives you any idea of how cheap they are.

I just figured out what to do with it. I'm bringing it with me next summer so I can decimate Hybrid with it.

can you even do anything with those specs? these machines should be in a museum, not on the job.
