Blahh....

Can anyone give me an average price for a good flat-bed scanner and a new computer? With references (URLs)? *whimper*


I'd promised my tutor my veryveryvery late assignment was going to be in on Friday. It's Monday and I'm nearly done. I was typing frantically this morning (while mum swore at the bathroom fan switch she's trying to replace it which has resulted in much hilarity and swearing and almost-success) so I could get to work at 12.

I turn up to work a couple of minutes late, eating busily. Turns out one of the staff couldn't make it in, so my boss had been trying to call me to change my hours till later. She was apologetic, and I'll be working 3-5 this afternoon instead of 12-2. I still have some assignment to do, and I've been plugging away at that, but I've hit the budget/schedule part, and I sort of have a schedule, and I'll be able to bullshit my way through the rest. But my hands hurt (fucking tendons) and I've got two assignments to go and I want this to be over already, all of it. /whine.

By Friday this will all be over. (clings to the idea)

I agree now my estimate was off (cause I forgot to include the price of moniter). I had forgotten how expensive they were.

And once you've got one, then you start thinking about how much cooler it would be if you had two. Suddenly you have two. Then you see bigger ones. And they're not THAT much more expensive than the little ones, and maybe you could sell the little ones to offset the cost of the big ones...

...repeat for a couple of years, and suddenly you have an LCD as your secondary monitor solely because your primary CRT is too friggin' heavy to lift.

Ahh well. As [livejournal.com profile] wobowikkles says, size IS important. :)

hehehehe

I want a 19' LCD so badly. I also want a video card that could cope with a 19' LCD. And a new hard drive! and and (the list goes one)
