New monitors on old machines

Rumor has it that Julian Wolfe may have mentioned these words: I do that every night. I'm the "night owl" of the family, and the light switch is on one end of the hallway (top of stairs; other switch is at bottom of stairs), my bedroom on the other. The hallway itself is unlit. Now, I *could* walk down to the bedroom, turn on a light, walk back, turn off the hallway light, then walk back to the bedroom again, but a) that takes a lot of time, and b) that would wake my wife, which has dire consequences for her sleep. If I don't want to get woken up at 6:00 am (not to mention - ahem - other benefits :-O ), I tend not to wake her up at 2:00 am... So I stumble around in the dark on purpose. I guess I'm just silly. If everyone took your point of view, I wouldn't have either of the recently made direct-connect VGA *or* SVideo adapters for my Tandy CoCo 3 -- which cost me $50 each. Why spend $100 for one, when I spent $100 for two, didn't have to hack a special cable, and supported those who are keeping the hobby alive in the process???? But again, I guess I'm just silly. Ungh.
