Yes, Corel PhotoPaint rather than Adobe PhotoShop.

Looking forward to seeing some pics. I doubt however that I will be able
to afford your prices.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

Hi HL,

Harry's saga reminds me of the old dear who sat and watched her television
whos screen only worked in all shades of blue for years. Then one of her
grandchildren commented that there was something funny about the picture on
this old black and white telly and shouldn't she buy a new colour one.

"Don't be silly," she said, "this _is_ a colour set and its been working
perfectly for years!"

Some people will watch anything.

ROFL!! That expression means he wants to go out on his motorcycle and
"catch some wind".....I believe. With Chili, he would be sending it to
us!! He could sure clear out a room in 5 seconds flat!

Go ahead, Mart, have your fun!
Right now its working allright and I'm going to check 'the connections' as
soon as time permits, before delving into 'new' territory.
There is one more possibility, but I'll leave that for later...

Very refreshing, easy to comply to and much appreciated.

You Brits certainly have a funny way of spelling things. Like "harbour" for
"harbor", "torch" for "flashlight", and "chilli" for "chili"!

No.....with the exception of Chilli, the Brits spelled all of the above
right. As do we in Little Britain. Colour, humour, harbour and so on.
Lorry for truck, torch for flashlight.....and tons more.

Remember, the Brits were there long before there was an America. So you
will have to realize you Yanks just don't speak proper English!! LOL.

Not true. We've been *fixing* the English language ever since independence,
slowly sorting out the mish-mash that is the so-called "English" language!

Now that is funny! The Americans have done more to bastardise English
than anyone including the English and they're not making a bad job of
doing it themselves.

LOL.....you ought to hear the way they mispronounce a lot of words as
well. Blouse, route, luxury, for starters. One of my Yank buds and I
were talking on the phone about 3 weeks ago, and were howling at the
difference in how we talk. Poor Ron could hardly even understand him
for starters. Even the Loon's accent is way softer than this one was.

But you can always spot a Brit with the word "whilst". (G)

A good example of a fairly extreme difference is route
Route = Root (English) and Rout (American)
Similarly router.

However regional dialects which were very strong here until the advent of
widespread television meant that as late as the early 60s when asked a
question by a Geordie (someone from the Newcastle area in the NE of
England) I honestly thought he was speaking German although I was possibly
influenced by there being some real Germans in the group. I turned to a
German guy standing next to me and asked what the person was saying only
for the German to reply that he hadn't a clue as he was one of mine (an
Englishman). <g>

Reminds me of a guy from Texas, who came into a store where I worked, and
asked for some "Buysicks". Well, that is what it sounded like to me. I was
puzzled, and he was sure I was just another ignorant Yankee. Turns out he
was looking for a pack of the second from the bottom rank rotgut tobacco
product, sold as "Basic" cigarettes.

Not long after I had a visit from a Mexican who asked me, "¿Donde esta las
banos?" It took me a couple of second to catch on (my mind was working in
日本語 ('nihongo') mode. Alas, once I did figure it out, I couldn't tell him
the answer. Understanding what is spoken, and speaking are on different
levels, and it has been a long time since I studied Esañol; with a bit of
Deutsch thrown in between the Español and the 日本語.

Of course I didn't really think the Brits spelled 'chili' wrong as a matter
of course. I almost commented on the way that the Canadians seem to get it
right.

The Brits were also under Frankish rule for 200 years, and much of their
spelling is so influenced. I don't see why good Saxons should have to bend
to Frankish influence.

Drat! I meant to write "Norman", not "Frankish". It was William, Duke of
Normandy, who brought all that French spelling, and grammar, to England, and
the Saxons.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

Your example brought to mind the way I say the two words.
Router = Rooter is the device I use to connect to the internet and Router
sounding like Rowter is the equipment used in woodwork for making grooves

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

America has done much to fix or bastardize the English language, depending
on how you look at it.
We made some things easier by removing unnecessary letters (harbour >
harbor, colour > color).
We made some things more understandable by creating new words (torch >
flashlight - so you can ask for an electrical device which emits light and
not get a burning stick). Some things from England don't make sense at
all - a banger is some kind of food?
We add new words to the language every year, as new technologies are
developed and certain slang becomes commonplace.
It is the perfect language for America. The country was formed of
immigrants from around the world. The language was formed from words on
every other language.
With more words than any other language, English is the easiest language to
learn and the hardest language to master.
Every region develops their language differently. In America they say
things differently in New York than in Georgia. I've heard the German
language has at least a few different dialects in Germany.

As far as the issue at hand, a monitor losing one color of the RBG typically
does mean it is failing and should be replaced. It can be repaired, but
that should only be done by a trained professional, and is not likely worth
the cost. Other monitor problems can be caused by outside interference.
For instance a fan running too close to a CRT can mess up the display.
