Widescreen

With my daughter's recent marathon viewing of Men in Black II, and the worms comment "Once you go Worm, thats what you'll Yearn", I've come to realize that I now hate one of my 3 monitors at work.

Yes, 3 monitors. One is my Laptops built in (hey! it's a laptop, ok!) 15.4" WS Screen, and it has an external 17" Monitor set up as well. On my test computer, I am stuck on an old 17" SyncMaster 750s that have that nice "Ouch my color is draining from my eyes" kind of feel to it.

But then I think of home, and to my recent purchase (Thank you DELL Canada!) of my latest baby...





... it is SO true. Once you go Widescreen, that's what you'll yearn!

8 Days - 1 Reboot

I'm not sure if this is something I want to think about.. my baby (not the human kind) is summering from dust and is plagued with reboot pains.

Reboot pains?

Yea... you start the computer, only to hear the CPU Fan, HDD and other various components rev up to normal operations, but nothing appears where you normally would see your post-boot text/graphic.

This Boot is Dead! Diseased! Cut Power and Try again! Rinse and Repeat 80 to 400 times before you succeed in getting your boot sequence to launch.

What does this mean for me?
24/7 computer running - fan doing it's normal loud sound in the middle of the night.


*Sigh*
