	At least his hack was computer related. There's a difference
between a hack and a handy-man tip. :)

	What say you, hack-heads? What kind of guidelines (if any)
should be imposed on ObHack? I haven't been around here for four or
five years, but back then a hack like this was flame-bait.

ObHack: I scored a 19' color monitor off an old X station, but it
is a sync on green beastie with BNC connectors. Upon regaining
consciousness after discovering the price of a D-15 to BNC video
cable, I went scrounging around and came up with an old SVGA
cable and BNC connectors I had stripped off a disobedient coax.
A few minutes with the manuals and a soldering iron- presto! I
save $60.
	The video card is for the next post. :)
