Q. My monitor screen is old and is much too dark, even with maximum brightness. I have an emachines Microsoft Windows XP computer. What monitor will work for this computer that's not horribly expensive?
A. LCD monitors are so nice, thin and light and bright and crisp, use less power, etc. Widescreen lets you spread more across the screen, better for watching movies, etc.
However, your graphics may not support the full size or resolution of said monitor; it will still work at some reduced resolution, but LCD monitors tend to look crappy at other than their native res. Solution, a new graphics card.
Prices? Recently got a dandy 19" Acer widescreen LCD from Newegg for $100, free shipping, but that was a sale. Watch for sales online or at your local retailers,
If you need an updated graphics card, as long as you aren't a gamer, something adequate should be under $30.
If you REALLY want to go cheap, your local computer store (not the big retailers) probably have used CRTs for a few bucks. Cruise your neighborhood on trash day; go to a local recycling event, a flea market. In these last cases, they may be defunct, so ask the 'owner' or pick up a bunch.

I am looking for a good digital camera for snapshots mostly of my family and for trips, any suggestions?
Q. I am really looking for a compact to subcompact camera for under $300. I don't want anything too bulky or not user friendly. I do prefer a viewfinder too. Any ideas would be great.
