Pinstripe screen of death
Apparently in an effort to assist my (previously unknown to me) struggle to be a non-conformist, my computer has begun locking up and delivering a stylish variation of the Windows standard. Anyone have a similarly metrosexually oriented laptop?

Or maybe because my computer is somehow able to "generally only" do something, which might seem contradictory at first glance, but upon closer scrutiny is decidedly possibly incredibly sexy. For the record, I have decided that substituting the word "orgasm" for "program" in my head will make all future tech support calls briefly entertaining, if not bearable.
