WC> well as my THIRD rock solid old style IBM keyboard :-)

 RJT> Nifty.  I wish I could find some more of those here.

RE: T.V.

 WC> Controls interact a bit so I had to adjust to get rid of color
 WC> bloom that came off images.

 RJT> The former owner probably had everything cranked up the whole way.

 Pretty much the case.
 
 WC> Excellent picture now, good convergence and good brightness.  Now
 WC> to find the proper universal remote code for the bugger.

 RJT> Good luck with that.  We had the use of one for a bit,  worked with the
 RJT> tv and cable box,  but not the vcr.

 WC> Two of my IBM keyboards are perfect and one, this one, has two
 WC> key's print worn off.

 RJT> One of the ones I have here actually has the key legends as a separate
 RJT> plastic cap from the usual keycap, sort of a thin "skin"
that fits on
 RJT> top of it.  I wouldn't have known this except the grandkids had somehow
 RJT> managed to dislodge some of them,  and there are a couple missing.

 WC>  I've a fourth IBM that's sick so I can steal the printed keys
 WC> from that one.

 RJT> There ya go!

 Know what killed the fourth one... cat pee.
 Former owner was a cat owner and the cat seemed to like to 
 use the computer spare parts storage as a place to
 relieve itself.

 WC> Wonder if the resolution from a T.V. card in the computer to the
 WC> T.V. would help with my failng eyesight or if the 27 TV inch
 WC> screen would be limited by it's inherent resolution?

 RJT> It should be interesting to find out.  Does the TV have any
 RJT> monitor-style inputs?  Apparently "s-video" is the big thing these
 RJT> days.

 WC> Yup, it's got all that.

 RJT> Cool.

 WC> The cheaper LCD HDTV - computer monitors may be my way to go as
 WC> given my fixed viewing position the off angle poor viewing
 WC> would not be an issue.

 RJT> Are those getting cheaper yet?

Cheap no, cheaper yes.
I'm not bleeding edge so I can wait until everyone HAS
to have plasma and LCD's come down even more.
