I learned a long time ago that data techs and the IT Department wonks
are often myopic and clueless.
One of my favorite IT memories was back in the 90's when they were
updating a lot of the office PC's to Win95, but there was no Win95
driver for the video. So, people were stuck with 640x400, flickering at
a 60Hz refresh rate. For the folks around me, I obtained a new video
card, installed the driver, and got them up to 800x600 at a smooth 75Hz.
They appreciated that!
Remember the bad old days of cheap 15" CRT monitors? Eww.
I used the 12" monitor, maxing out at 640x480, from my 1991 IBM PS/1 until
1999. I had a client over for a Windows installation and he told me that I
should probably update the thing (he was only the latest person to make
fun of it). After that, I decided to upgrade to a 15" Sony Trinitron
monitor which was admittedly a lot better.
For a few years I had a Sony Trinitron monitor (I think it was a 19" one).
It was very heavy, but the quality of the screen was very good.
