You asked for it.  First you *bashed* my monitor (TVM, remember?).
I am still paying for it via my credit card account. 
Then you kept suggesting that we get 60KHz monitor when we
have NO USE for it since the drivers that comes with our
standard MS/DOS programs cannot operate at that level.

Again.  You and your friend live in civilization.  Some of us don't.
You are insider, you live in city, you know how to write your own
driver.  We don't, we can't, and we wouldn't.

Stop insulting our enthusiasm.  "Poor" graduate students like us have
more time than money.  So far, you are the only one (other than 
your friends YOU SAID got the deals) to find these deals.  I have
communicated via email with at least 5 other readers of this net
and all of them cannot find the deals you described.
