Girl at work's just brought a new PC with a spanky 17" TFT flat panel,
least it was spanky.. apparently she bashed it with something so there's a
"bruise" right in the middle of the screen.

We have a couple that are like that at work and it got me
thinking/looking.. am I right that there's nothing can be done?

regards

Screen needs replacing, I'm afraid it's expensive.

Yep - its permanent. Could be worth a claim on home insurance?

You should be more flexible.

It is only obvious who *you* were answering in your own post because I
have snipped it! Bottom posting without snipping is as bad as top
posting.

What's my solution?

.....NOISE POLLUTION

Lemme guess - it's a Dell, right?! Dell TFT's aren't expensive - if they
were why would they be charging so little?! It's a Dimension 2400 isn't it?
3.06GHz/533FSB/512MB RAM?

No idea what the one the girl has is, the ones at work are some "all-in-
one" jobbies that were brought to be transportable.. problem is we put all
the thought into how portable the PCs were and not enough into what they
would be put into when people take them places :-)

You were supposed to say yes and then everyone would marvel at my brilliant
clairvoyant powers! :-D

I think it's worse, perhaps a good reason not to complain about top posting.
Maybe the problem is that "Please don't top post" is read as "Please don't
post your reply above the text you are replying to" (which is correct), from
which "Please do post your reply below the text you are replying to" is
inferred (which is only *partially* correct).
