There was quite a windstorm in this area yesterday (Sunday, March 20th) that knocked out power for a large number of customers ... including the GooRoo household.
My computer is (for the most part) on-line 24/7, so it was the victim of an unscheduled power down. When I went to power the system back up, the monitor came on for a mere second or two, then went black. Using all of the refresh techniques suggested in the monitor's documentation, I was unable to get more than the same second or two of display out of it.
Today I am borrowing my wife's monitor in order to be able to access the Forum and the other on-line things I normally do. Borrowing the monitor was the suggestion of the computer support technician for my computer, in an effort to isolate where the problem was ... monitor or video adaptor card. It is definitely the monitor, so I am now in the market for a replacement. I have priced four suitable monitors, and expect that I will be buying one of them later today. In the meantime, I must return this monitor to my wife. So until I have a replacement, I will be "off the air" for a while.

for a 19". At any rate, I am 'back in business' now, and finally managed to get the Warpstone to the King in Gamer's new CL. Since I did not achieve a "PERFECT!" score, I will be re-playing the latter part to see if I can improve my result. Then it is on to walkthroughz ... testing those provided to me for various CLz, and later working on writing up some for my own CLz. I believe I will create a poll in the Gruntz Miscellaneous (Olio) Board listing what I feel are my 8 nastiest walkthroughless Custom Levelz. So you Gruntzerz get to choose which CL getz a walkthrough first!
