Thank you. It's hard to believe, but there you have it. She came home from school today with an A in a science test, and she had two As in math during the previous two weeks, having just gone back to school full time for therapeutic reasons mostly, in order to see how she would cope physically before the end of the school year, in advance of the move to secondary in the Autumn. Well, she's coping. This is a child who the medics thought would scarcely function if she lived, and whose brain was "mangled" on the left and swelling out the side of her broken head back in September.

Anyway, all this was an inappropriate aside; as this forum is for other things, perhaps I shouldn't have put that url up there. I've gone a long time without mentioning it.

On my usual diversion from this whole business, therefore:

I discovered just now that the portrait monitor is greyscale (256), and like a gem. It also has, ahem, an Internal Fan! That's a first for me, though I have to say that I think it's a very good idea, given how my ColorSyncs have packed it in over the years.

Back in 1991, I really, REALLY wanted one of these portrait displays - as I pecked away on my Classic trying to write my first lectures up in Aberdeen. Mind you, I have to admit that it was a vast step up from the Epson PC/XT I still had at home, and that I had bought as a starving student. It was that Classic, and knowing that there were such things as ... Portrait Monitors! ... (of all things!) produced by Apple that - I suppose - got me hooked. And here I am, still obsessed.

The prospect of handing the monitor on to that friend is looking harder and harder!
