xb95Technology does eventually fail. One of my LCDs (both of which are pushing 5 years old now) has started to go bad on me. It originally was just having one row of pixels that would flicker in and out from time to time. Now the bottom third of the screen flickers every few seconds, making it really hard to use. That was a few days ago.
Today, it's shut off on me twice and the video card deemed that it was no longer there and collapsed all of my windows on to the main display. Pulling the cord off and reconnecting it caused it to wake up again. Only to repeat a few hours later. Annoying.
Now back to code. That is all.
