Size isn't everything (Apparently)

So I'm writing this on a 22" widescreen monitor, which has turned up in advance of my new computer. Unfortunately, my old computer doesn't understand widescreen resolutions at all, so I'm just looking at it big and stretchy. And some bits are really quite quite blurry. I knew that my old (work) box sucked. But not this bad. Oh well. Only a few days. Hopefully. It's just annoying having this big cool monitor that is really just a paperweight for the time being.
