Hi NG,

Sure, I know that nobody really comes on my profile anymore, since I've been dead for the past five months and whatnot, but hell, I may as well rant about this while I have the chance. I think I'll just put it bluntly. I officially hate LCD monitors and wooden floors. I don't know what possessed people to create these atrocities, but hell, if reinventing the wheel is what it takes to fix my laptop display so I don't have to go onto ebay and buy another one for the fifth time, I'm all for it.

Mis amigos, I have to say that I am extremely displeased. Not only did my display refuse not to blind me each and every time that I decided to leave my cozy home, forgoing my house-hermit lifestyle to, God forbid, take in the sulfurous air and beautiful vistas outside, but it also failed to withstand the almighty fury of an old lens cloth. Is that not ridiculous? And to top it off, the damn thing would never stay clean. High gloss, delicate little monitor plus dust? You know what that's a recipe for? It's like trying to read through a pile of cheese curd, and oh no, the secret spit-shine substitute for windex you hold so dear? Guess what? Crusts up on your screen like splooge on a seaman's keyboard. That's right; you gotta swab this poop deck with expensive screen cleaner; personally, I'd prefer explosive. It's that infuriating. Though, even if you manage to afford the crap, you'll probably just scratch or crack the screen trying to get all the crud off of it.

Seriously, what were these designers thinking? Having tiny little glass, liquid crystals that can burst or defect easily and come out of line is not a good idea. At the very least, plastic ones would be better: more durable, safer, and cheaper too - less likely to break if dropped, since plastic is more flexible than glass. That, and the fact that displays shatter so easily these days. I suppose I should be glad that they don't crumble into dust when you blow on them.

Anyway, rant over. I'm mildly satisfied now, despite the fact that I'm extremely tired and my display is bleeding liquid crystals everywhere and I'm having to use an external monitor.

Ciao
