I just got a 21" monitor for my old Mac. Holy crap on a stick...
everything's HUGE.

In other lovely news though, just had to relay this story (hi Cryptic
Went all the way to Toronto ( 2 hour round trip in Boxing week traffic) to a place called CPUsed to buy the monitor.
Told the guy I needed one for a G3. He sells me this one. I get to the studio and the plug doesn't fit. I call up, turns up I need an adapter cause the guy thought I meant a G3 Blue and White Mac. (I have a G3 Beige).

I try everywhere around town and nobody has an adapter so I drive all the way back to CPUsed again (another 2 hour trip).
A guy hands me an adapter and says it's $15 (I already know it's worth about $3 on eBay). I nicely explain the situation and ask if he'd consider taking a couple of dollars off the price. Not much.... just $2 or whatever because I had to drive all the way back down there again.

In comes the 'manager'... big guy on campus. Tells me that I can have the plug the other guy just recommended for $5 but it probably won't work because it has DP switches (whatever the hell that means).

I'm thinking ok... so why was this guy just trying to sell it to me for $15??
If I hadn't asked for money off I'd have walked out of here with this plug and it wouldn't have worked either???

Mr. big 'manager' goes in the back room, grabs another adapter and says he can let me have this one for $23 but can't give me a deal because it's new.
(even though it's in an old bag and obviously a spare that was just lying around the back room)
I explain the situation to him.. All I'm asking for is a couple of bucks out of good faith.
Nope... no deal. Mr. big shot has to be a dick and charge the full price.

Fine... no problem.
So my new studio equipment is now being bought somewhere else and I'll never go back to CPUSED in Toronto again. Plus I'll write the owner of the store at CPUsed in Toronto and tell them why I won't be doing business at CPUsed in Toronto anymore... plus for the next few years I'm going to tell this story over and over again about CPUSED in Toronto to everybody who listens and hopefully nobody else will go to CPUsed in Toronto. I'm not saying that CPUSED in Toronto will rip you off or give you bad information or anything (god forbid that I say something bad about CPUSED in Toronto that might be letigious... I'm just stating my own opinion about my lousy service experience at CPUsed in Toronto and not saying anything about what might happen in your case if you went to CPUSED in Toronto)
So congrats $2 Mr. Manager Sir Big shot on Campus of CPUSED in Toronto, "I'm the king of my castle and that's the way it goes" guy.
You saved $2.

Now I think I'll go post this message all over usenet.
The internet is fun.

I hate it when people act like that. I guess that's how they get their kick though, by screwing over the litte guy. He probably charged you extra so he could afford his kid a christmas gift. If you don't like everything big on your monitor just adjust the resolution.

nah...
despite my horrible, mind numbing experience at CPUsed in Toronto, I actually enjoy having a 21" monitor.

It's kinda like suddenly changing from a 28" tv to a 60" projection.
It's right in my face and I can actually have 3 windows open at the same time and not keep closing stuff to see what I'm doing.

Unfortunately, I'm so upset about my treatment at CPUsed in Toronto, that I'm having a hard time enjoying the experience.

I hope nobody else in the Toronto area experiences the same horrible, awful treatment that I got at CPUsed in Toronto. I mean the monitor is great, even though it's 'refurbished'.
And even though 3 years ago I bought an Apple monitor from CPUsed in Toronto that didn't work properly and made 'snapping' noises every time I restarted my computer and I didn't return it because I trusted they'd made an honest mistake and it was too far to drive, but unfortunately, that's the one that eventually burned up... and a few years earlier somebody at CPUsed in Toronto lied to me about the price I'd get for my used Powerbook and then reduced the price by $250 after driving all the way down to CPUsed in Toronto so that I had to call the store owner from a pay phone outside the shop... and even then they still wouldn't give me what they'd promised on the phone and suddenly nobody at CPUsed in Toronto could remember talking to me...

Gosh... I'm not saying that their business is a rip off or anything or that they lie to their customers on the phone... holy moly. No way.

I'm just a simple guy that wanted to buy an old monitor at CPUsed in Toronto, who was hoping that his impressions of CPUsed in Toronto's service were at fault and maybe I'd made a mistake about CPUsed in Torontom thinking that CPUsed in Toronto were a bunch of scum bags who didn't give a crap about CPUsed in Toronto customers , and then drive home and hook it up and use it.

Gosh...

Geez... Just how many times can a person use "CPUsed in Toronto" in a post


Sorry about your luck, though. Some people are just flat out ass holes.

Yeah... I kinda repeated CPUsed in Toronto a few too many times.
But I wanted to be sure that people who shop at CPUsed in Toronto, know how they usually treat customers and figured the best way to do that was to repeat the words CPUsed in Toronto a bunch of times, cause I'm hoping other people who deal there will be more careful in the future or maybe even avoid using their company... at CPUsed in Toronto

Apparently there is a 10,000 character limit Which means you can roughly say the phrase 555 times.
