Please, tell me there's still hope.
We're putting together a new pc for my mother-in-law, and she chose her monitor and keyboard/mouse. Frankly, I hate all of them.
The monitor is a 17-inch Viewsonic VE710b LCD. It does this wierd thing where everytime the pc is powered off or the resolution changes (i.e., when we run WoW or any other game) it has to auto-adjust itself, and often as not, the desktop will be squished all the way to the left, so the start menu is inaccessible. This can be manually adjusted, but is a pain in the ass.
The keyboard/mouse . . . it's a logitech wireless set, and the keyboard has about a million more buttons than are necessary, and the Function keys have to be TURNED ON, they are by default mapped to do things like open MS Word, and WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT? And I can't map the mouse key to go back in Mozilla, although it claims it is mapped, I had to set it to replicate the backspace key. WTF?
Tell me it's better than this, somewhere.
