At the office, I heard that our reseller is sold out of HP laptops. The reseller thought it possible that we could get Lenovo laptops; but I didn't hear whether we could, or will.
After work, I walked up to Kramerbooks at Dupont Circle. In less than a mile, I passed two persons carrying large monitors. I infer that they are taking them home to use with laptops. In the years since flat-screen (i.e easily portable) monitors became readily available, I don't think I've ever seen anyone carry them on the streets.
Monitors? Has the coming apocalypse become an occasion for hoarding electronic devices? Has the world gone mad?
ReplyDeleteNot I think hoarding, simply preparing. For many purposes, a large monitor is preferable to a laptop screen. The young persons I saw with the monitors probably expected their offices to be closed for a week or so, and hoped to work more efficiently at home. My guess is that the monitors will go back to the office in a few weeks.
