True; but the person doesn't come in a box; is required to be served a
meal; needs to be kept warm, aired and pressurised; may get drunk and cause
trouble on board; and if he *does* hurt himself will probably sue the
airline for large amounts of money. A computer, OTOH, just sits there -
sort of rectangularly...

Do you know the seller? Unfortunately, my German is completely
non-existant. Even so, I'm not 100% sure whether the monitor will work, and
I'm not risking my only working 8032 mainboard on it... There's one
en-route to to me from the States which I will risk, but that won't get
here before the end of the -SK auction.
Cheers!
Ade.
