My GeForce 4 Ti4600 video card just died. It couldn't wait until I was
gainfully employed again, could it?

Damn you, Murphy and your bloody law!

Any chance it's still under warranty?

Can you believe it?! They don't make 5 year warranties on video cards
any more. ;P

Oh well, time to sell my "Statue-of-David-like" body on the streets
for an ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum.

Your incredulity serves you well, Master K.

My body tends to be more like that of Chris Farley, than that of a
sculpted masterpiece.

More realistically, selling your body to medicine (or at least leasing
it) can get you quite a bit of money, and all you have to do is take
highly experimental medicines.

I was going to offer you my old video card, but I highly doubt you'd
want a TNT2 M64. :)

Hey! I just got through ordering an Radeon 9550 card online. I had to
work within a budget. But us IT guys are used to that. :) Just not
used to it at home is the thing...

Anyway, it was the best card I could find on short notice for $70 or
under. At least it's a DX9 board! Now maybe I can enjoy Call of Duty
properly.
