"15mm combination spanner"




Chrome or Nickle plated.


Gosh, a good spanner wrench can get me excited... not like a monitor I've been wanting for 3 years and finally decided to go for... but excited none the less.



Let's have some pics!

Oh BTW,

I'm pretty excited to think that I may actually be able to read the lettering in X if I should choose to re install it.

Not being able to see anything in the X gui was a big downer for me... I'm hoping this may help me get back in the swing of things.



best regards,
mike

But you said it was a "space heater" that you got.

And that it just "looks like a display monitor"
 
Now I'm perplexed.
 
What did you really get?
 
 
 
 
PS - I really did get a new spanner.
 
And not a spanner that looks like anything else.
 
That's why I said I got a spanner...
 
And not "a large hadron collider that looks like a spanner".
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's all very confusing for simple folk like me.

I got a new monitor.

The part I was interested in was the 2560 x 1600 pixels... I've been hoping they would become affordable but I guess not in my lifetime. :-)

The part I am a bit insecure about is the 30" size... it seems really big for our tiny place. I may end up hating it.

The part I was joking about is that a display that size functions as a low powered space heater.

The part I am looking forward to is finding out if the 30" size makes it easier for me to work in the studio with a single pair of glasses.


I was just blowing off some steam after going through the stress of finally deciding to buy the darn thing.

I'm pretty sure they wll be 50% off by the end of the week now that I've bought one. :-)

Anyways. I hope you enjoy your new spanner.

best regards,
mike

I thought this was a reference to an old blonde joke...the punch line was "ma'am, that TV is a microwave oven!"

Sorry 'bout that.
