I think my computer monitor might be dying. I turned it on five minutes ago, and the picture on the screen looked like some sort of four-color printed material where the four colors don't quite line up with one another.

My monitor and I go way back to the early 1990s. I bought this Compaq Presario 1510 at Computer City. I don't think those are around anymore.

And, frankly, neither are many monitors like mine.

Even my parents long ago traded in their bulky monitors for newer, flat-screen models.

Maybe it's finally time for me to do the same.

Update: As soon as I hit "publish post," my monitor snapped back to life. I guess it's not yet ready to let go. Frankly, neither am I.
