Computers & Internet - 24 July 2007

I have bad eye strain every time I look at my monitor - a SamSung SyncMAster 912N
I also have 2 Apple Laptop computers that I use occasionally, and in general I don't have trouble when I use the laptops.

I've done about everything I can think of. I went to the eye doctor - they checked me over good, they gave me eye drops and all, I tried new glasses, I tried special computer glasses, actually the monitor is new and I still have tons of trouble, maybe I bought the wrong one. I;ve played with the brightness and the refresh rates, and all that. I've done about everything. I could get a new monitor but I don't know which one I should buy. I bought a anti-radiation - anti glare screen and my eyes still hurt horribly just after short use.

what can I do?

I have to make three checkboxes appear, and when I click one, a picture will appear, when I click checkbox 2, figure 2 will appear, and same for #3. Can't get it to work, don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is what I have for now:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class prueba extends Applet {
Image figuraa; Image figurab; Image figurac;
Checkbox g1, g2, g3; CheckboxGroup g;
public void init(){

figuraa = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "figura1.jpg");
figurab = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "figura2.jpg");
figurac = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "figura3.jpg");
g1 = new Checkbox ("Tylenol", g, false);
g2 = new Checkbox ("Perro", g, false);
g3 = new Checkbox ("Cafe", g, false);
}

public boolean action (Event e, Object o){

if (e.target instanceof Checkbox)
if (g1.getState() == true )
g.drawImage (figuraa,1,1,this);
else if (g2.getState() == true)
g.drawImage (figurab,1,1,this);
else if (g3.getState() == true)

I have a SimpleTech 160 GB external hard drive. Its making a quiet "buzzzz-click" noise. Tech support says it is defective and needs replacement. (of course!) Ive taken it apart and banged it on the table a couple of times. Any better suggestions?

I'm going to be a student in college and I need a new laptop. I was thinking 15.4 diagonal screen size because I can then have a better time playing games and watching movies. But then I think 14.1 is a lot more portable and easier to carry around for a student? Which size should I get?
