OK, I dumped the Hansol and I got a LaCie electron19blueIV. Better, 
much much better. Still not great for text though. It is just a little 
soft for text work. I was thinking I was going to have to return this 
one too when I loaded an image. Oy! Does this monitor really shine for 
image work! It is a keeper ( and it is nice to be back online).

As an aside I brought in the defunct Apple StudioDisplay for a repair 
estimate. They are going to fix it for FREE! Apparently it is a "known 
issue". Fine by me, I use a monitor for seven years and, when it 
breaks, they fix it for free! And it is still the sharpest monitor I 
have ever seen bar none. A little contrasty for image work though.

I had a look at the image I posted ? now gone thank you very much ? and 
all I can say is that you have a good deal of restraint. Gag me with a 
stick and paint me blue. YUCK.

I will post some others before my upcoming trip to the Old Country.

Softly (slightly) Yours,

John Collier
