"Can the heat affect my CRT monitor?"

Im using a clapped uot old 19" monitor until I can afford a nice flatscreen CRT, but today it keeps "refreshing itself" with a clicking noise (the same noise as when you change resolutions or refresh rates) is it the heat (the back does feel quite hot)- or is it time to sell it while it still works?

A note for Biggles:

Damn this thing is MASSIVE - seriously having second thoughts... :-o (sort of) NO eyestrain though.

I like working/browsing at 100Hz.

I hope I get the network socket. Else they're gonna find themselves with an underground WiFi setup....

Likewise - I stressed the Network socket requirement.Phoned them up last week and today but they "are still allocating".

I've asked for James with strong preference, and if not, Alcuin. But whatever happesns, I've said I MUST have a network socket in my room. How about you?

Oh definately! I put my first 2 choices down as campus accomodation, I want to get in on the action as much as possible.

Do you know which college you're in?

What are you reading? Which uni?

21's a great age to be at uni. Mature enough for a horde of young, lovely fresher ladies to come to you for "advice", while not too old at all.

Yup, I'm already at uni, studying and reading. Knowledge is a wonderful thing.

Yup :) 18 here! Tig, are you in campus accommodation for the first year?

"Economics, Ecology and the Environment" the closest to environmental economics that they offered - I say semi mature student as Im 21 whereas I expect the majority of freshers to be 18-21.

Physics at York - you off to Uni?
