If my monitor broke, I'd run screaming through a shopping mall wearing nothing but a fig leaf. Then I'd rumble with an Irishman in the back alley of a 7-11, while we listened to showtunes on an old 8-Track player

I was thinking the same thing! It's truly the only solution.

After a couple of iterations of "the office is throwing out old hardware today", you stop worrying about this sort of thing, but I'll always spend at least one weekend trying to at least diagnose, if not fix, any failed electronic device I own, more out of principle than out of necessity. Problem with modern electronics is that they hardly ever fail anymore, and when they do, it's a crapshoot as to whether the failed component is a $0.99 generic part that you've got in your parts box, or some custom part that hasn't been manufactured in years. If it's the $0.99 part, I fix it, but if it's custom, it goes off to China's toy factories by means of the local "recycling" place.
Fixing it is technically no harder than diagnosing it, but it's a hell of a lot more fun. No feeling on earth quite like pressing a power button and wondering if you did it right or if it'll try to catch fire, and to be rewarded with a happy little hum and a picture on your screen. A human never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a small computer.

the answer is obvious. it's all about motivation and what the heck does the 80's have to do with it?
Bill, lemme ask you a question; did your parents drop a lot of acid? :D J/K but this is sad, Bill is dragging us into his world of incoherency :o
