Countdown to self destruct

As I sit here, my monitor is flickering gently. Not the flickering glow one might assume from the glasses of a cartoon scientist. Indeed, if such were the case, I'd probably not mind.

No, sadly, this is the flickering of -something- in my computer running out, malfunctioning, or blowing up. It is a slow and carefree countdown to self destruction.

This of course means, I am running on a life line. My monitor has gone from crackling, and I do mean crackling. You know that image of the government computers in the movie as the terrorists take it over, the screens go black, and in lines they flash across white static before coming back up? Well, that is what my wonderful monitor is going through.

So come June, I will have to either buy another, or come some day this week, I will have to call Acer in order to get the warranty on this thing fulfilled. I've had it a little over six months, and assuredly, some warranty has some coverage over it.

If not, there have been other suggestions on how to get it replaced. Some of which I may very well have to take. I'm not sure how much I could survive without a computer. Its rather disturbing.

So now, I merely watch it, and wonder what the timer is, on this count down to self destruction.

Peace out,

The Zodiak.
