The source of frustrations

OK, like I said, today JUST wasn't my day. At some point during the day, my laptop decides that it wants to die on me. Course I wasn't sure excatly what the problem was, but then discovered that it was only the screen that just went blank and not my entire system going kaput. So I got it to work for a lil while longer, all the while trying to research the problem. I found some useful info out there, but sadly didnt offer many solutions. Apparently most laptop screens just refuse to work after a certain amount of time =(. Now, Im redued to hooking up the laptop to my TV and squinting at it to try and make out the words on the screen untill I can gather up enough to be able to buy a moniter for it. *sigh*
