I decided I would look at it tonight, and was rebooting to go into their windowing mode and somehow it fried the bios in my BT445s. Needless to say, I wasn't happy, and I don't know how the hell they could have done that; I didn't think that software could destroy a piece of hardware (other than a monitor). Anyway, just wanted to make sure y'all knew that it could do this... -matt -- Matthew C.
