cameo, First check to make sure your monitor cable connections are secure. Okay?
I had a similar problem once. It was not the monitor or the computer, it was the battery.
About $10, popped out the old one, popped in the new one, and got about 4 more years out of a 5-year-old machine. Cheap and simple.
Windoze apps can be run on a Mac, too. What little more you invest up front (Mac) you save in constant headaches with reinstalls, bugginess and battling viruses (PC).

Welcome, Ian99000310! Peace to you on your spiritual journey, glad you found us.
would i be excpeted in the faith? Is there room for intepretation on a personal level?
The point im making is are the arms of the WT still open now that i have laid my heart out?
Sadly, both answers are No.
I'd be interested to hear your interpretation of the Jehovah's Witness Memorial experience, vis-a-vis your sincere and broad-based religious background.

Seven LITHOMAN presslines for Watchtower Society
Multinational, large-scale order for MAN Roland and Intergrafica Print & Pack (IPP)
The international religious organization Jehovah's Witnesses has recently ordered seven LITHOMAN presslines from MAN Roland, to be installed in its printing plants in Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, England, Japan (one press each) and the USA (two presses). Delivery of the order running in the middle of tens of million Euros are expected to take place from July 2003.
Almost 80 years of cooperation between Watchtower and MAN Roland
With the biggest single order of this customer to date, MAN Roland continues the series of international successes in its cooperation with the Watchtower Society over a period of nearly eighty years by now: in 1927, Watchtower USA ordered the first letterpress machine from MAN Roland. A second press followed in 1929. By 1976, about 30 MAN Roland presses had been installed in the United States alone. This made Watchtower the biggest customer worldwide for MAN Roland at that time.
Watchtower production now standardized worldwide with LITHOMAN
Since 1984, Watchtower in Italy and the US has been working with a total of five 32-page LITHOMAN presslines. The positive experience with these machines has now led to the decision to use this press type worldwide. That means printing quality on the highest level worldwide. The new, single-web systems in 64-page configuration operate at speeds up to 45,000 cylinder revolutions per hour and with a web width of 1,480 millimetres. They are uniformly equipped with 2:5:5 folder.
Publications with multimillion circulations
In future, the new Watchtower LITHOMAN presses will be producing a large propoprtion of the high-circulation publications such as The Watchtower with a circulation of just under 25 million copies in 146 languages and Awake with a momentary circulation of 22 million copies in 86 languages. In addition, the machines are intended for use in the production of bibles or books of biblical exegesis, each in multimillion circulation.
More capacity and quality, positive synergies
The new LITHOMAN presses markedly reduce the age average of the Watchtower machinery, thus considerably increasing overall productivity. Another important advantage will result from the close cooperation of the individual Watchtower printing plants, which produce largely the same products. When production will eventually be run on presses of the same type, Watchtower will benefit further because of synergies such as positive cost effects.
Apart from a substantial capacity increase, Watchtower expects maximum availability and reliability, high net output, excellent printing quality and high efficiency to result from the new LITHOMAN machinery, while it looks forward to continuing and intensifying the cooperation with MAN Roland as its partner in printing and press technology.

They wrote an English language article (I think in an Awake!) about the installation of two new presses in upstate NY which conveniently failed to mention the five additional presses outside the U.S.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom... You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Not wishing to hijack this highly conflated topic, I just wanted to pop in and say thank-you to lavendar: That entire quote is worth framing!
Oh, wait a moment. Burns, that's the Phoenician alphabet! It's a precursor to ancient Hebrew and other alphabets, but technically...

NO MANNERS !
by iknowall558 inanyone noticed how the act of shunning is accompanied by a lack of manners and sense of human decency ?
i get shunned by the school lollipop.
who is a dub and who used to be my friend.

Welcome, iknowall558.
This is not poor manners, it is a serious child safety issue. Please report her to the school authorities immediately.
Her cult indoctrination is interfering with her ability to perform her job and could result in injury or death. Surely you have laws against discrimination? Use them.
Witnesses as a whole should never be hired for positions of responsibility around children, but "worldly" people seldom get to see this anti-social, dangerous behavior.
And yes, she is lacking in basic human decency. There is no love in the Tower.
