Roland, Naw Im a 25 yr old spring chicken just gone premature grey that=92s all. = Thanks for all the monitor feed back guys. I used have a 21 inch CRT that died when I digitized full time and had an operator run the machines.=20 Any way these new flat panels even 17" run rings around the old crts I got myself a new little laptop to run the Amaya as a dedicated system. =20 Can still see the needle hole with out glasses but I must admit I may need glasses in the near future Anand Anand, when you get to be ancient and decrepit like some of us 'over =20 45' folks are...the larger the monitor, the easier it is to do the =20 editing! I'm running a 17" on my computer for the amaya, but on all my macs =20 I've gone to 19"-and I don't have to do anywhere NEAR as fine editing =20 with my sign and screenprinting work! With the program toolbars, etc. =20 in Design shop, even with a 17" monitor you end up with about 6-8" of =20 'active' window to zoom in and work on the design. When you have to =20 zoom right in to find stitches and move fine points-the bigger the =20 monitor the easier it is. I'm hopefully taking some spare change for christmas and buying my =20 Amaya a bigger monitor before I have to use reading glasses AND a =20 magnifying glass! Resolution does't mean much if the monitor isn't big enough to see =20 all of the design in full size!
