Yep, that's right, I have got some new ones.. although they seem awfully familiar..
I burned out my second VGA card in about 5 weeks time.. so I am starting to suspect it IS the temporary monitor (since my normal one broke down 2 months ago and has been sent for repair) that is causing this. Either this or my veeeeery old (1996) temporary VGA card just died of old age.. but it is kind of suspect that it would happen within 1 1/2 months of a 1 1/2 year old VGA card doinjg the same thing while being attached to the same old monitor..
Great...so now I am without a monitor and without a VGA card since those were all the spares I had. I did recieve a new monitor last saturday because of the broken old one that still had guarantee, but that was a widescreen and I don't want a widescreen so I sent that back monday and now I am waiting for a new non-WS one that may actually arrive quite soon, but that will do me no good without my VGA card.
Now I could go out and buy a new VGA card except that I sent in the first one for repair as well under guarantee, and that can still last up to a couple of weeks to months before I get a new one...
So now I am working on my laptop.. again.. which is not good for my back (which was doing so great to begin with) and I have no way of accessing any files on my PC because this stupid Microsoft network thing doesn't work..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH!!
So if I can be here even less.. (or go on anyway and end up with RSI and a full blown hernia) you will no why.. *starting to get withdrawal symptoms already*
