Yea it was expensive (the whole machine it's connected to was frighteningly
expensive...I've purchased new cars that cost considerably less...but that's
another story). Hopefully it'll last a while. It's an LCD so the thing
that's most likely to fail are the cold cathode florescent tubes used for the

That way I also don't feel bad when I scribble notes on them.
If I am recoding the fact that my machine doesn't exactly match the
manual (that is, I have a different version), then I simply annotate or
change the manual. If I am adding changes or explainatiuon I've worked
out, then I make a photocopy of the appropriate page and annotate that,
amd then file it in the manaul. I also add pages of my own test results
(for monitors, I always record the CRT pin voltages, for example).
I typically use the PDFs for research/study (other than the source of =
work copies). I also am fortunate enough to have a 30" display with a =
2560x1600 resolution. It's big enough and with enough resolution that I
Fortunate, indeed. I don't know how much a 30" monitor would cose, and I
don't kno how much it would cost to keep it running for, say, 20 years,
but I am sure of one thing -- it's more than I could afford...
