Dead Monitor Open Thread

Don’t you hate it when you turn on your monitor and nothing happens? The 30” display for my Mac Pro desktop machine simply failed to light up this morning. No power light, USB ports don’t work, screen dark. I have two monitors, so I swapped the cables into the video card — the second monitor still worked in the other port, so it’s not the card. Unplugged and plugged in another power outlet, still nothing. He’s dead, Jim.

Good thing I bought an AppleCare extended warranty for this baby. Here’s an open thread while I visit the Apple store and use it.

 Frank says:

And all the rest of whom for which to whensoever of partially indeterminate bio-chemical degredation. Seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle of their foaming nocturnal parametric digital whole-wheat inter-faith geo-thermal terpsichorean ejectamenta. -- From board tape at Zappa concert, outdoors, at Blossom Music Center, Akron, Ohio, summer 1984. This quote was in the middle of a spoken section of "The Mud Club" in which a dude walks into the club with a blue Mohawk and proceeds to "work the floor, work the wall, work the monitor system. . . ." The band was having monitor feedback problems at the Blossom concert, and there are numerous references to P.A. equipment throughout this ramble. Other than that, the quote is meaningless, I guess. But great imagery!
