On of my early jobs in IT was doing warranty repairs on home computers, I was always there for something else like a CDROM or HDD or something, but they would always ask if the monitor was faulty because of the two black lines, and when I tried to explain that it was part of the design they were outraged, fortunately not at me though, usually at their reseller who oversold this "wonderful" monitor. |
