[penguicon-general] geek advice needed

[LadySarah]

That explains why all the old non-flat screens are sitting in two cubes in
customer care waiting for a home.  If anyone thinks Penguicon could use them
you should let me know and I'll ask Patrick what they're trying to do with
them.

Patrick should be here now, I'll go see what else he can tell me about my
monitor.

Thanks!!  :)
