You mean you got past all the forum notices and links to the FAQ, and you still ask the question....

Maybe if you shake it, side to side, like an etch-a-sketch...

step 1, turn off the monitor...

aristotle1 · 11-01-2001, 08:35 PM

Use
#include <stdlib.h>

system ("cls");

Throw the monitor out the window

Advantages:
Pretty fail-proof
Releases your anger

Disadvantages:
No more monitor.
If you forgot to unplug it, other computer peripherals might follow it in a racing frenzy
You have to open the window and take the screen out (the mesh thingie that keeps bugs out.... supposedly...)
(Note from webmaster: Not portable. Difficult to write code to throw monitor out window.)

>>> system ("cls");

Then read the FAQ to find out why this is a bad idea.
