The last time I got this pissed off with a PC of mine, I bought my first brand-new Mac the next day. Fortunately, I don't have a couple of grand sitting around this time ... because I'd be handing it over first thing tomorrow morning.
My lovely little MacBook is keeping me sane, but does suffer from its inability to contain a comfortable amount of disk space and - let's face it - the graphics hardware is very underpowered.
Between Windows XP refusing to accept that 1680x1050 is a valid choice of desktop resolution for this monitor, Ubuntu only producing sounds from half of my applications (and those only when the planets align right) and
both operating systems only producing any screen display at all when attached via VGA instead of DVI ... it's getting close to "this machine is going out the window" time.
The worst part is that it all worked perfectly a couple of months ago. Something's silently updated or changed itself in both operating systems, and I don't know what.
Maybe it's time to spend a couple of days on this again ...
