Since I have a 10-year-old tube monitor, which could die at any time, for an early Christmas present my Mom bought me a Samsung TFT 20 inch monitor. A concern I had when reading through the instruction manual was cleaning because I received the impression that it could not be wiped with a damp cloth like a tube monitor. I began getting little spots on my LCD monitor but I did not want to pay the $10-$20 that London Drugs wanted for the special LCD cleaning fluid. As well from my experience with CDs in the 1990's, cleaning fluid leaves residue. I thought I would try my soft cleaning cloth made for cleaning sunglasses, by Eyewear. I just placed a very little amount of water on the cloth and softly and slowly wiped away the spots and the LCD monitor looked clean with no apparent damage. I did not wipe the LCD screen like I did my old tube monitor, as I was much more careful and only wiped the actual spots. The water technique works alright, but I used Klear Screen and followed the directions for glossy screens and it gets rid of some of the marks water did not and claims to leave an anti-static coating which preserves the screen. It is used by major manufacturers.
I find the LCD monitor generally superior to the tube monitor for viewing web pages and desktop pictures. However, with web pages for some colours and whites I occasionally prefer the tube monitor.

Here is another email I received:
ReplyDeleteFrom. Mr Thomas James.
Kindest Attention:
My name is Mr. Thomas James, I am from Portugal. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right
now I have only about a few months to live,according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life sowell, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but mybusiness. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as few close
friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some
charity organizations in theU.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they
refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them any more, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the
huge cash deposit of Ten Million United States Dollars ($10,000,000,00) that I have with an Asset Management Company Abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B : Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims,60% to other Charity Organization and 5% for your effort and time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am using my Lap Top Computer to communicate with you. You should respond to this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my
behalf.
Urgent Reply Needed.
God be with you.
Mr. Thomas James
