   This is retail therapy at its finest. I can't wait to have a two monitor system again. I went two years working mostly on a laptop after years of a 27" with a 24" next to it. I've been struggling to edit video and work in multiple apps at the same time. This will make my life easier for getting computer work done.

     Damn.

     I pulled the trigger. It arrives next week. I feel like a failure, but wow! Saving more than $100 is not something I can feel ashamed about.

     The reason I want THIS monitor is because it'll easily daisy-chain with the other one and because it's exactly the same size, etc., I can set them side by side for seamless use. The picture is great. They also have USB-A ports that I can use to connect older devices, like the portable hard drive I use for Time Machine backups. And did I mention that the monitor can be rotated for portrait view? I'm thinking this will come in handy when it's time to lay out my book.

     I have a self-imposed moral dilemma.

     In autumn, I bought a Mac Mini and a Dell 27" monitor to go with it. The computer and monitor support multiple monitors. I want a second one to go with it.

     I can buy it on #Amazon (where I bought the first one) for $434, which is $160 LESS than Dell and still considerably less than other sellers. This is a kickass price.

     The dilemma: I'm challenging myself to go a whole year without buying ANYTHING on Amazon and I've been doing great so far.

     What do I do?
