One of the Horsemen has Just Arrived

As an IT person, I know that the fastest way to get an entire department talking, pointing, and being annoying is to bring a flat-panel monitor to someone’s desk. You cannot even get to the recipient’s desk without five comments like this:
“Ooh - you can leave that here.”
“How come I don’t get one?”
“I’m calling the boss.”
“How come she got one and I didn’t?”
Our company policy is that they’re only given out with new computers because they’re only ordered with new computers. But people will not hear that.
Last week someone got a new computer. He came in this morning asking for his old monitor back; he didn’t want the flat-panel.
I’m not sure which specific horseman this is, but I don’t want to waste any time figuring it out. We need to get home to our loved ones before the fire and brimstone starts.
What the hell is brimstone anyway?

Brimstone is burning and smoldering sulfur - pretty stinky stuff, with a wicked bluish purple flame.
Does the person requesting the CRT return wear glasses? Some people that do get a prescription especially for handling the CRTs odd focus behind the physical screen - that might be the reason. Otherwise, it’s just insanity.

Don’t think he wears glasses.
