The Color 'Red' is missing

[Joan Archer]

Yes they are used in my cross stitch, not all of them but I do have quite
a few different colour ones but haven't got around to using them much so
far <g>

Krumpet, crumpet, you know what I meant. I didn't want to bother to look it
up. We don't eat them here. Don't tell me you're miss perfect and never
misspelled a word.

As I said, if you're doing something holy it can be a holiday, otherwise
it's just a vacation. Certainly you're free to call it what you want.
Everyone is free to be wrong. If you have a problem with me, don't bother
responding. Do the world a favor and take a long walk off a short pier.

No more "Krispy Kreme" (or any such with or without a "C") in my
neighborhood anymore for quite some time now, already, allright! Dunkin'
Donuts are still the favored in most places of the US of A.

Indeed. I don't recall ever having felt the need to plonk anyone in this
NG before. I could be mistaken, I often am, but if so it would have been
some years ago.

Hey! We agree on something! Krispy Kreme must have been invented by "Krusty,

Well, old sock.....I can think of one you might have plonked....I did.
But sometimes it is better to keep an eye on them to see what terrible
advice they give, for instance.

ACK!! Scary!! KK Donuts opened with a big media campaign near me and I
couldn't believe how awful they were.......pure greasy sugar!! (G) You
will have to taste our Tim Hortons ones. I was checking Timmies out on
Google and you do have several in the US.

Trivia.....Horton was an NHL hockey player who unfortunately was
drinking and driving his Pantera at 100 miles an hour when he hit a
concrete bridge abutment. Died instantly. He never lived to see the
success of his franchise.

Klap (hit lightly) the monitor it may be a dry joint is cutting out
the red color gun. Also, check the pins in the plug that plugs the
monitor's signal lead into the PC it may be that pin(s) corresponding
to the red signal are bent out of their correct path.

As above. If CMOS Setup also looks blue-purplish, then it's most
likely the monitor or its cabling.

There is no menu button on my monitor, H.
Instead I have a "Pin Cushion" button and a "Degauss Switch", besides the
vertical and horizontal adjustments.
With a bit of luck, that degauss switch may just be my answer, we'll see.

Tried the cable already, but what about the "Degauss Switch"?
No "Menu" button on this baby.
Seems to be working fairly "steady" right now. <H>.
