How geeky are you?

March 15th, 2005 in Personal

I almost finished my new template and I am so ready to upload my site in a few days time. And that particular hot sunday, something happen. Something really freaky happens.

Normally, in TV shows, there’s sometime geeks who plays their pc too much until their pc come out smokes, right? That freaky thing happens to me, just like those geeks on TV. On that hot sunday, smokes came out from my monitor!! I’m so freaked out!!

Imagine, it was about 5pm, you are happily chatting and flirting around in IRC and MSN. Suddenly, you smell funny thing, then in just like 10 seconds, your screen started to become smaller and garble and just goes blank, and that’s when you see smoke starts coming out. I was like “OH MY GOD!!!” :eek:
Ok, my monitor is the LG Flatron T710SH. Remember that model. It’s still under warranty, so it’s not even one year I used it.

Here’s what I learn from this smoked monitor:

  • Don’t use your computer too much, rest man, rest….
  • Don’t use your computer on a hot day…. rest man, rest….
  • Don’t use your computer 24-7, rest man, rest….
  • Don’t use LG products, change man, change…. :P

    i wanted to get LCD, but the problem is the price and durability. I heard from people that LCD don’t last as long as CRT, is that true? (ok, my LG CRT is an exception)

    if you plan to leave the computer on for 24/7 hours like me, should use CRT monitors……….

    or turn off the monitor when not in use. :)
