The extremely generic box has a "GEM" sticker on it, which I know to be a very cheap monitor company (a frequent manufacturer available at Fry's). But when I plugged this monitor in, Windows reads it as a "Relisys TL500A." I have known Relisys to be a pretty good monitor company (although I think they went out of business). It's certainly better than GEM. Ah, the wonders of Plug & Play!!!!

Damn you Californians to hell. To hell I say. Why don't they have a Fry's on the East Coast, in the NYC, the Capital of the World? Damn you West Coast fools.

Would any of you recommend that gravis joystick? I need a decent one for my PC but I don't know shit about them. I'll be there to pick up Tribes 2 so I will pick up that joystick as well if it's decent. Thanks!

[kalvnhobbz]

the visor's a pretty hot deal. especially if you pricematch at staples and use a coupon.

[brainsmile]

well that's a good dog deal if I may say so

Most likely Gem. Fry's always has Gem monitors. :)

[Speedfreak]

BTW: Passwird... I saw a lot of the stuff that you have sold on Ebay. Are you clening out your room or something? :D

This may be a stupid story. One time I was at a Frys in Sunnyvale,CA and I saw this car in the parking lot that slammed on it's brakes when it passed by the hot dog stand. Then a fat woman, probably over 500 pounds, got out of the car. The car was parked diagonal and was blocking traffic. The woman just walked to the front of the line even though there was a lot of people waiting. I watched as she bought over 20 hot dogs+cokes. She squeezed back into her card and sped off.
