Can anyone recommend a gaming tower? I'd like one with no preloading antivirus.

A gaming PC?
Yeah, how much you looking to spend? Generally most of your spending is going to be in the graphics card.
So you could get an average Dell for $1500 and then get a graphics card anywhere from $300 to $2000.

And if you want to show off, you can even get Alienware.

Ok so tomorrow I can point to you some Microsoft links on where to download a tool which analyzes your blue screen crash file.
I guess my other question is: if this blue screen problem is resolved, then you don’t need another computer?

I don't see a problem, so long as you avoid things related to the occult. Too many believers want to equate fictional magic such as Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings with real-world Satanism...but if you look beyond the superficial, there's many extreme differences.

I think what it is is the night time mode kicking in. I turn it off before 9 PM and havent had it happen again. Weird. I will probably upgrade at some point anyway. Maybe next year I hope.

It was not I who said it. But whoever said it, they were right. It's more about desperation to find a romantic relationship.

Well the writer of the song seems to disagree with both of you...

He's trying desperately to hold on to faith that he will find a romantic relationship. Or that somebody he knows will find one.

Or maybe Steve Perry's vision for the song was just very different. It certainly sold. One episode of X Factor (I think it was), a young man chose this song one of the weeks, and Simon commented about what a smart choice it was for him despite not being a well known song, and I wondered what in the world he meant, not well known? According to the Recording Industry Association of America, “Don’t Stop Believing" is an 18-times platinum-certified single. That is rare.

I don't watch the show myself, but from what I've heard Simon's main stock in trade is intense sarcasm. That and keeping his drink cup placed with the logo facing the camera. I wouldn't expect him to know much about music.

Simon is probably a brilliant business man in the music industry... I do wonder though because these contestants were all fairly young and that song is how many years old? So maybe he meant it was not well known in the contestant's age group. That would not surprise me. Shows like that are all about grooming buyers for the next big voice. An unknown enters that contest and somewhere along the line they have amassed millions of fans, whether they win or not. That is a brilliant formula. Thanks, Simon. Yeah, he can be sarcastic. So many want to be coddled and told they can sing and/or dance when what they are is delusional. Simon does not shrink back from telling them.

Does anyone else remember China's one child policy and how it caused the death of many unborn daughters? I know I can't be the only one.
