Allow me to suggest that if you worked with that monitor eight years ago, then
didn't see it again until last week, you would be quite surprised at how soft
it had gotten.

When you see a monitor every single day, you don't notice the decay because it
happens so slowly over time.

Kind of like a spouse.
