[Vwdiesel] using vw parts cd with small monitor

[Gary Shea]

Hi Ken --

Thanks for the suggestion... but...  the monitor I have available for my
one lonely Windows box won't do 1280 x 1024... and I hate to buy a
monitor for the Windows box, it doesn't get much use.  I used to hook up
the 21" to it, which was a big pain since that was my main monitor on my
unix boxes.  Now I'm retiring that one, just use a laptop these days.

I know the software is out there, I think it's free... arggh!  :)
