I use an ATI card, but I dont recommend it, it works, but they arent
"linux friendly". At home I use a 17" Mitsubishi Diamond Scan 70 that I
am really happy with. At work I use a 19 or 21" HP something or other that
is also nice if you want to spend that much =)

Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific.  It is IN
the Pacific.  It is a part of the United States that is an island that 
is right here.
