My computer is not a Brony. It has been acting up for a while, but it just had to stop working as soon as I searched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic yesterday.

@herbalgreen Sounds like you need to love and tolerate your computer until it sees things our way.

@thelastgherkin The screen messes up, and I cannot use it. :<
-
@herbalgreen Laptop or desktop?
-
@thelastgherkin Desktop.
-
@herbalgreen Can you just buy a new screeny-weeny?
-
@herbalgreen Is it down completely, or does it only act up when you do specific things?
-
@eaglehooves It basically goes all fuzzy looking and like, RBY scale acts up on it. It started happening after I played Happy Wheels, and now it happens after about 10-15 minutes of use.
-
@thelastgherkin It's a Mac though.
-
@herbalgreen It sounds like your graphics card may be dieing, one of my friends had something similar happen. If you know enough to open it up and blow off the card with some canned air, it may help. Otherwise I'd test it with another monitor, then replace whichever one fails the test.
-
@eaglehooves Okay, thanks for the suggestion.
-
@eaglehooves Just saw your comment further up the chain, I know nothing about Macs, so I don't think I'll be any help from here on.

@herbalgreen Oh. Oh dear oh dear.

@herbalgreen What's funny is that when the flame-wars began long ago between artists and educators using Apple and everyone else using the PC, there were two differing processors, the Intel and clones of it (like AMD) and the Motorola CPUs used in the Macintosh. Microsoft ripped off the GUI (or did they both just steal one from DEC? whetever); GNU+Linux ripped off Microsoft's market share; Apple shoved the new-comer to free, open-source software into their basket by using the Intel and AMD chips and BSD Unix. Androids are the new Mac. The Mac OS/X is just a... (How do I put this gently?) Dude, you got a Dell.

@fnordly Mac OS X is a highly polished, consumer-friendly unix derivative. In being such, it lacks both the power of Unix *and* the usability of classic Mac. I will *never* forgive Apple.
