One day out of nowhere when I was sitting at my kitchen table in my little cottage, the screen on my laptop suddenly went black, and when I did word-processing, every time that you tapped down, there was like this pause of pixels and no gentle scrolling, and it was just freaky and jenky beyond belief.
Immediately, I got frightened that my computer was breaking down, and I'd maybe lose a recent version of a doc or some recent downloads, and that I'd have to go through the whole rigamarole of buying a computer again, and besides that, Word now has (I think) this price-gouging monthly subscription model that they lock you into, you can't just get it once-and-for-all anymore like you used to, and stuff like that is just very unpleasant to deal with, in life.
Thankfully, though, I saved some files on my thumbdrive and emailed them to myself, and I also was googling on my phone, and it all seemed to *maybe* have been a temporary graphics file overload that was doing that, it probably was nothing fatal with the motherboard or the screen wiring or anything like that.
Phew.
(I think.)
