Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Clever!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Um, is someone around to help me out? To save my brand-new monitor from being hurled through a wall?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Open the window first.

It's too cold. I'm just going to throw it through the interior wall. Maybe my neighbor can use it.

What's the problem?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought a nice big new monitor. It told me it would work best if I reset the display to 1680x1050 at 60 Hz refresh rate. With some scuffling I figured out how to do this.

Now all the fonts are too small, and webpages that used to take up the whole screen are centered cozily in the middle, and I can't read anything without squinting.

I swear, I don't have the energy to figure out anything else. I'm ready to scream. What do I do?

Are you using Windows XP?

I did all that... I already have Clear Type turned on too. The fonts on my desktop are big enough; it's the fonts in the webpages that're killing me. And the size of the webpage display. I'm trying to fix it in Tools->Internet Options, but no luck.
