What version of windows are you on? I just opened my pc to check and sure enough, display settings is still in my desktop menu. But I do get what you mean, that's one of the reasons my windows usage at this point is basically only for

Yeah, the college I went to back in '09 _just_ started teaching version control. All we learned were concepts and common languages from each of the major domains of programming, and math. That's it. (Think like SQL for DB, Java &#
