This is Mickie looming down over me as I sit at my computer desk. She arrives way up there via the shelf on top of my CRT monitor, where the speakers are.  Generally, said speakers go flying.  The shelf is supposed to be secured with adhesive tape, but it also gets knocked askew.

Well, it’s a huge sacrifice to make, but what else can I do? {sigh}

Gots to get me a flat-panel monitor with speakers built in.
