Tandy VGM-441!!!!

Oh werd?
Who had fun at the party last weekend? (chorus of yays!)
Who could forget the conversation, the guitar playing, or how Pete/Mike came over? (Okay, I have no idea how Pete/Mike came over...)
Everyone will be happy to know that the damage report is quite small. No unfortunate stains. No feet marks on the wall from Amanda doing drunk cartwheels in the hallway. Oh, wait, there was one casualty of the weekend..... My monitor's screen got smashed.
Now wait wait.... this story has, if not a happy ending, a sort of entertaining one.
It seems Eric had an extra monitor lying around his parents' house: TANDY the Monitor!
TANDY comes with:
!) VGM441 POWER.
!) It features patented *Curved Screen Action*!
!) It can handle resolutions as high as 800 by 600!!!!
!) Almost 14 inches of viewing capability!
!) Eye-strengthening blurriness! (Woo! Trippy!)
Also, Tandy is a *vintage* monitor, thus increasing my Brooklyn-hipster street cred.
I called my Uncle Larry, certified computer expert and Star Trek fan, to find out just how much of a collectible Tandy really is.
KPd.: Hi Uncle Larry. My laptop screen got smashed.
UL: Ooh.... good party eh?
KPd.: Right, like no one else has said that.... Anyhoo, I got a replacement monitor.
UL: What type?
KPd.: a Tandy!
UL: :::erupts with laughter:::
KPd.: Is it really old do you think? Like, frm 1995 maybe?
UL: Try 1992. If that. Where on earth did you find that?

Some people, like my dad, ask: Kerry, how did you get Tandy from NJ to Brooklyn?
I'm glad you asked. Tandy features awesome "rotating base" technology, which allows you to get a great grip for easy portability. With Tandy, me and my laptop are still free to roam the wireless hot spots of Brooklyn, as long as there are places to rest Tandy on every 20 feet or so... oh.. and as long as the coffee shop has, like, a really solid surge protector. Don't ask....
Also, unlike 1991-era monitors, Tandy only ways like 72 pounds. Think of how much technological wonder you can pack into 72 pounds!
Ooh, and when you and your vintage monitor travel, don't expect to avoid attention. Everyone wants to hear about how you found such a cool computer screen.

Dude on subway: Is that for an art project?

Other random dude: What's a little lady like you doing with a monitor like that?

That's right. Tandy is a "random dude" magnet!
You may be wondering at this point: Kerry, Tandy is super cool and a great conversation piece, but shouldn't you maybe get a less-cool monitor for your day to day business? Ya know... so Tandy's coolness doesn't distract you too much?
To that I have three replies:
1) Radioshack is staffed by morons.
Radioshack guy: Werd, I can't find the SKU number for flat screen monitors. I'll just go through all the SKUs until I find it.
KPd.: Why not look it up on the Radioshack website....?
RG: Aw shit, that's a good idea, werd.
2) I don't want to hurt Tandy's feelings.
3) I'm unemployed. I only have enough money for one cheap-as-free hipster monitor at a time.

So, in conclusion, I hope everyone had fun at the party. I am currently accepting donations for the "Kerry's Day to Day Monitor Fund". If anyone has another cool vintage monitor... maybe a 1994 model.... let me know.....
