my macbook sounds like a gerbil on a wheel. I'm backing up files, but don't have time to invoke my apple care today. anyone ever had this experience?
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have a Motorola Q that runs Windows Mobile. I've just recently started having issues with the text messaging and the web browser. When I click on the text message to read it, the screen comes up blank.
When I try to read b.org, it goes blank, even though sites like gmail and cnn work perfectly.
Is it just a kink in my phone and I should maybe take it back or is there something I can fiddle with to fix it?

Anyone have any idea how to make a Dell monitor sharper? As in "not looking as though I should yell 'Focus! FOCUS!' at it"?
I poked around the menu, but nothing seemed to help. Perhaps the damn screen is just...failing.

Is this a tube monitor or an LCD? It could be a matter of adjusting the resolution of the display.

You could try degaussing it. Is there a button with a crossed out magnet?

Okay, gave that a shot, still fuzzy.

Lower the resolution you are running at by one notch. If it is at 1280x1024 drop it to 1024x768.

It was a longshot, but at least it probably made a nifty sound.
