Phew. Apparently it's normal for this graphics card to buzz. I was terrified my card was going to explode. I jumped the last time that happened. Damn capacitors.

Isn't your data backed up in the hive? How do you output it onto toast?

Aye, she went to church for the first time in ages and didn't want to be taken from the car to the church in a wheelchair so she walked. Fell over on the way back and has broken a bone in her shoulder.
