Re: Turn off the monitor vs turn the monitor off

[Ken Poshedly <poshedly -at- bellsouth -dot- net>]

Finally! It's about darn time! Someone who knows how to put this 
whole thing in perspective -- with a Beatles song!!

For the unknowing, they're the first words of "Tomorrow Never Knows", 
side 2, track 5 of "Revolver" (the U.S. version) released in August 1966.

And the more I compare the monitor directive to the Beatles lyric, 
the more I think they might have in common, perhaps on some other 
plane of existence. At least they do on a Monday night just after 9 o'clock.

Thanks Chris!  Good one!!
