I saw this cover posted on Twitter above a legion of comments about what a great story it contained, how that run was so exceptional, what a clever ending it has, and at least 5 variations on "Lex Needs to Upgrade his Monitor!"
It is frankly amazing how good computer screens are today. We used to fantasize about screens that aren't 1000th as good as what we are used to now.

…at least 5 variations on "Lex Needs to Upgrade his Monitor!"••• Probably from the same people who watched the SyFy tour of my Studio and complained that I needed new carpets!

He should probably buy from the Canadians. They at least have the biggest monitors, I mean look at the guy watching from the upper left. That is one huge screen, and it was made in the 70's.  |

If Canada can give a guy adamantium bones, surely they can afford an IMAX screen to brief their Prime Minister!

Always enjoyed this oversized time display on a control panel from Time Tunnel. The guy manning the station yelled out the seconds in case no one could see the enormous digits.
