Title: My computer monitor is daltonic. Also, stupid.
Post by: Grandy on March 24, 2011, 04:01:07 PM
 Yeah, so it keeps wavering and black shows as red and sometimes dark red shows as green. Plus the screen trembles.


 And the best part is? IT JUST CAME FROM MAINTENACE where they claimed it was fixed. CLEARY the maintenace team has a different understanding of the word "fixed", and believe it means "broken, but more so than before", since they also scratched it and stickied the bill with duct tape over the screen, thus making it dirty. For no reason, since they could've handled me the bill like a normal person would.

Also, I'll be switching to my old monitor, which is not daltonic but is old, and equally stupid, since the cables are so sensitive if I even go as far as to SNEEZE in it's GENERAL DIRECTION it disconnects.

 CLEARY MY LUCK IS TURNING FOR THE BETTER!


EDIT: And now I'm using the old one. HOORAY FOR 800X600 OUTPUT!

Maybe a magnet got too close to it? I had one of mine ruined that way. Silly cousins playing with refrigerator pins.

Send it back and demand a new fix? They can't just ignore you if you're not satisfied can they?

I wrote a detailed post about magnets and it's uses in my house (weeee, I can move coins from under the table!) but Charas refused to post it and I lost it.

As far as I know, US coins aren't magnetic. Seriously, I've never been able to make them do anything with a magnet, and it makes no sense.

Well, there goes the crucial part of my plan to rob the Bank of America then.

Pretty sure it's all paper down there anyway.

I thought coins were magnetic?

That's what I thought, but I can't seem to make them do anything.

American ones aren't.
I know from experience that Canadian coins are, though.

A bank I just happen to work for, and no I wouldn't recommend it...
