I recently purchased a video card from my friend Jonathan.
In addition to allowing me to use my video
collection as source material for computer based projects,
it lets me put two monitors
on my computer. Having a second monitor is a great help when working on projects
that require me to have many windows open a the same time. However, I've noticed
that being surround by computer screens has given me increased
headaches and eyestrain, which I assume stem from the increase in radiation
put off by the second monitor. I've even started hallucinating
the outline the computer displays around items that it is highlighting while reading.
`However, these physical ailments
are a worthwhile sacrifice for my computer's increased functionality.
