Does any one have advice on how to repair the hole in my screen I inadvertently caused by incessantly pushing on the refresh button?

There was a hardware failure on the hub that connects the SDMB to our corporate LAN. The port connecting the SDMB failed. We’re now using a different port and all seems well with the world…at least for the moment. Something doesn’t add up exactly right so I’m a bit puzzled but I’m not going to argue with the reality of a currently working SDMB.

Oh, you can post here on a Monday, a Monday,
A Monday from home or maybe work
Or you can post here on a Tuesday, a Tuesday,
A Tuesday, just please don’t be a jerk
Or you can post here on a Wednesday, a Thursday,
A Friday and Saturday for kicks
But never ever on this Sunday, this Sunday,
This Sunday, until Jerry’s got it fixed. 😉
THANKS, JERRY!

Ok. Good. I’m not the only one that was jonesing my brains out then.
And thanks be to Jerry (aka GodTech) for the fix. Um…well, repair.
Man…talk about _addictions_. I never realized how bad I had it until I couldn’t have it!
