Is there a way to force Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to open documents at 100% zoom instead of "fit to screen"? It's only a couple of clicks, but it's starting to annoy me.
[eta - nevermind, I found it. Who puts the preferences under "Edit"???]
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A fair number of people, actually. I think it's where I look first.

Laptop repair question:
My 4-year old laptop has been overheating and (eventually) shutting off for a couple of years. This has not really been a problem, but it seems to be getting worse. From what I read on the Interwebs, this seems fairly common and just requires dusting, especially around the heatsink.
There are plenty of step-by-step instructions on the web, which tempts me since I managed the dvr. It looks like bringing it into a repair shop will be $100+. Am I crazy to consider opening this thing up?
Otherwise, this laptop is perfectly fine for my needs and I do not need to upgrade right now.

Have you just tried blowing compressed air into the fan vents?

Yeah, I tried that awhile ago. Naturally, one of the repair guys I just spoke to said "whatever you do, don't use compressed air". But it clearly didn't break the fan or whatever.

Seriously? I've never heard that.
Anyway, we took apart my laptop. I think you'll be fine. Just be sure to put all of the screws somewhere safe, and keep track of what goes where.

I've taken one apart to replace a fan. Give yourself plenty of time and keep the ungodly number of screws organized.
