See that? That’s hardcore. Let it be known that students will stop at nothing in order to save all the cash they can - even if it involves digging out 16″ CRTs from the depths of my wardrobe and filling my desk space with them.
And yes, that’s Vista. On that piece of crap. I had a spare copy, so I thought, “Why not?” The results were… catastrophic. It can just about render wallpaper without falling over.

Does my Gravatar work now?
Yup. Can’t you see it?
I’m going to guess the latter is more awesome.
