I live in Nottingham 150 miles away and can get you a cheaper monitor than
that!!  In fact I will give you my address and you can pick one up!  I got a
brand new one for £70 (70 quid) Boxed and new, still got the plastic wrapper on
it!

Plan B:  There are loads of Second hand comp shops.  I mean you could buy a 486
system for 30 pounds and throw away everything except the monitor, and sstill
save a ton.  I will enquire!

Let me know if you are having any trouble.  I will make some  contacts!!
And I promise it will be dam cheaper than you have been quoted!!
