I wanted to buy a new LCD monitor for my new computer last week. I searched for most of the data about LCDs on the Internet, and I found a good type of LCD made by "SONY".

We know that "SONY" is a big and internationally famous company, so I think that the products of SONY will be better than any others. My choice depended on this reason: product by SONY. I bought the monitor from "CompUSA" in DesMoines.

When I connected the LCD monitor with the computer and turned the power on, it didn't work. I checked all the lines and power switches, then turned on the power again. It didn't work then either. I was sure that the LCD was broken.

I returned it to "CompUSA" immediately. They exchanged it for an all new monitor for me. When I went back to my house, I connected the new monitor to my computer, and it didn't work just like the old one that I had returned. So I returned the new "broken one" to "CompUSA" again.

OF course, they exchanged it for another new one for me, and I brought the third new LCD monitor back to my apartment. This time I tried to connect the monitor arid computer very carefully, and turn the power on. God! It worked perfectly.

I thought what bad luck for me! Or is it just that "SONY" is worse than before? I don't know.

A huge fire that happened in 1978 in hotel "Russia" in Moscow caused a large number of victims. More than 120 people, including children who were in the hotel at that time, died from flames; others received severe burns. Some of them who tried to escape by jumping from high floors were injured. According to medical personnel at Central Moscow Hospital, 187 victims were reported to be in serious condition following the accident.

The blaze started in the early morning at the same time at several places in the hotel. People said that it had been the largest and most frightening fire they had ever seen. Fire crews thought they had the situation in hand until the wind picked up and the flames began spreading fast through the thirty-story building. Flames and heavy smoke conditions blocked many exits, forcing people to try to retreat out their windows. People who lived on the upper floors tied their sheets together and used them, crawling out on their hands and knees through windows. Many were crushed. There were some calls reported from victims to their families to say a last farewell.

Over 1000 people were evacuated from the building and it took 175 firefighters 20 hours to bring the blaze under control. There was considerable damage both to the roof and inside the large hotel. The cause of the fire was never known. But a KGB spokesman said that if the Moscow fire turned out to be a politically motivated action, then they were interested, then they had to look to see if it was connected with anything else. It was in 1978 and the people were not allowed to know the truth.
