8am. Triii triii triii triii , i slowly open my eyes, turn off the alarm and start waking up. Start waking up?? Uh oh, no time for that, i should've been dressed already!! Oki, i wake up the missus and tell her this time she can't get 45 mins in the bathroom for her make-up.... WE GOTTA HURRY!

8.30am. In the car and off to the shop.

8.40am. Finally arrived and can't believe my eyes :eek2: , there's like 40 people waiting there already!! NOOOooooooo cruel world, kk time to park the car, nothing is lost yet. Let's just go stand between em and try get in front a bit without them noticing. By then I already lost the missus, but she'll find me, they always do.

9am. The doors open and the fight has begun! People rushing in the shop, punch here, punch there.
Hello sir, can u interest u in our new lawnmower??
Argh let me pass!! No time for grass!!

And then.... there it is... getting closer and closer, closer and MINE!!!!! VICTORY!! So long losers, this hibbie is to fast for u! CYAAAAaaaa! :banana:

9.05am. Time to pay for my new 19" TFT screen with 8ms reaction time and that for the silly price of.... <drums roffling> 299 euro's.
By now the missus was back with me as well and what does she have in her hands? Oooh she grabbed herself a 17" TFT, but for 199 euro's, who can say no to the lovely face.

So both happy we exit the shop, knowing that we are the lucky ones having a new screen.
Interesting detail, the shop only had about 30-40 of each and all were gone in less than 5 minutes :).

For a minute I thought you were reporting on the first purchase of retail Catacombs. Pah, what a disappointment ;-)

Aye, same here. So much for the famed happy end....

PS: grats on the 19" 8ms TFT. Using one since Christmas I can confirm that the days of the CRTs are now finally gone.
