I fixed my first LCD computer monitor

[Jon A.]

I had my choice of two used LCD monitors at my thrift shop: a Dell and an LG. I turned both of them around to look at the place of manufacture, and immediately turned down the Dell because it was made in China. Korea isn't a whole lot better, but nothing like that is made on this side of the pond, and an Apple monitor would cost more than a Mac Mini. While on the subject of crap made in China, I came across a blood pressure monitor made there while stocking shelves. That's just outright dangerous. I took it into the back room to explain the situation, and was given permission to throw it away.
