A milestone: 1024x768
I am not an early technology adopter. The reason I am slow to adapt is sometimes due to cost and laziness. If something is working fine for me why change.
Usually it takes force to make me change. I didn't get Windows XP until there was little to no software for Windows 98 and some software either stopped including Windows 98 or couldn't.
I didn't get a cell phone until I had to get one for work purposes. My job had me at different sites without access to a landline. Although I am not dependent on my cell phone, I have one.
This week I finally was forced to change the screen resolution on my monitor from 800x600 to 1024x768. The change has been creeping up to me for some time. Many websites and some programs I use are only usable at a higher resolutions. It does become a chore to scroll the screen or not being able to access a button on a program that is hidden below the edge of my screen.
I am going to miss 800x600. Everything looks so small now with the higher resolution and it seems to be missing some detail. It is probably my monitor because I use higher resolutions at work and on my laptop and it doesn't look bad.
Oh well life is full of changes, I guess.
