Chimei

Several weeks ago, I treated myself to a new LCD monitor. It has a 22" screen and is made by a Taiwanese company called Chimei. Actually it's Chi-Mei. The company is not well-known in the US. But it makes the LCD panels for a number of other companies, including Dell and Acer. I really like the monitor. Lots of real estate and picture quality is very good. No stuck pixels. I also purchased a 9600GT graphics card. I'm not a gamer, so I think I'm set video-wise for the next few years.

Wireless

I finally got around to moving my noisy Clovertown system to another room at home. I found a wireless adapter that supports Server 2003 x64. The abit adapter is tiny, but works well. Best of all, it's free after rebate.

Nothing much has happened in my life. As the saying goes, same old, same old. My wife is getting ready to retire. I think she has mixed feelings about that. Retirement is a dramatic change in any person's life. But she already has home projects lined up to keep her busy. Not sure how I will feel when it's my turn to retire.
