V V to close the file. Nothing happened. He tried
clicking on another icon - nothing happened. The screen
was frozen on the strange picture of a machine that had
just suddenly appeared, with no text.
'Ben,' he shouted to one of his colleagues. 'Can you get
online and check something out for me?' There was no
answer. Mike looked across the room but Ben wasn't
there. And neither were Dave and Tessa. Frowning, Mike
stood up and walked over to their computers. They were
all showing the same picture as Mike had on his. Mike

FAMILY BLOG : )
My mum has just got a second monitor for her PC
and it was installed this morning. She does a lot of
writing for her work and wants to have two screens to
see different files simultaneously. Personally, I would
prefer to have one big screen and open lots of files
on that, but she says that two screens are better for
her eyes! She phoned a local shop about buying the
monitors yesterday and they arrived this morning.
Excellent service! Maybe she'll get a third one soon!
A encourages people to have two PC monitors.
B gives an opinion about having two PC monitors.
C describes a new PC monitor that's just been
installed.
