Yes. Still haven't managed to replace my daltonian 18" monitor, so I went down into the basement and unearthed the old one from the late Eighties. It's dark, doesn't support more than 1024x768, has a black rim around the image, and stretches letters that get too close to the top. But now I can read red on black again. And thanks to the clip-on glass filter I've also unearthed, my eyes practically don't hurt after a couple of hours.
But at least I'm not back to Made in Iraq cuneiform clay tablets! ;-) (Yep, it's a Babylonian invention, today's Iraq invented non-graphic writing.)
Still, I do have access to some modern technology. For Christmas, I bought myself (best way to receive a gift you like!) a genuine Sony™ 1Gb MP3 Walkman™ for $60. Now I can forget the gloomy darkness of the long black-out hours by listening to my fave "happy place" musics. If I spare the battery. "Subnormality", you said? ;-p
Back on topic. That Hitler strip? Fuckin' awesome! Chaplin would've loved it. Is there a planned G. Dubya version? ;-)

However not all of us have 30 inch monitors either.
I thought the first one there was kind of funny. The coloring's a bit weird though.
..."that we all still have 15-inch monitors"
I do. :-(
Oh dude, I'm sorry.

Not only do some of us still have 15-monitors, Apple is rumoured to soon introduce a new 15-inch monitor.
