Oh, and my keyboard needs defragging.
I've been in IT for about 18 years. I actually did have a user who complained that her "monitor wasn't working" and it turned out to be that her PC was powered off.

Bear in mind, this was an old PC-XT, which had a large red switch on the side with clearly labeled "ON" and "OFF" positions. This was akin to complaining that the room was dark then sheepishly realizing that you hadn't opened your eyes.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
