Ok, So I just popped off a beer bottle cap with my lighter, it bounced off my deodorant can and landed on top of my video card and my PC just turned off for like 10 seconds, then booted up again, and here I am.

LOL wtf.

You certainly came to an acceptable resolution of the problem. . .

The brightness of that decision is obvious to all. . .

But, you could have displayed more patience. . .

One might contrast that action with simply disabling the adapter software. . .

Are you certain that didn't just wallpaper over the problem?. . .

Shut up, Austin.

Okay, yeah.

If I f**k up more than once, does my voice go up an octave or two? 8) (It would still be losing 2 of something, right?)
