Kudos to Josh the geek...

at the Best Buy in Spokane.  This past weekend I rebooted my home tower PC and, gulp, no video output whatsoever.  After some quick troubleshooting I knew I either had a weird registry issue, a bad graphics card, or a fried motherboard.  So late this afternoon I detached the myriad of cables and hauled the box to Spokane.

The so-called Geek Squad service at Best Buy is pretty terrific.  They'll do a quick diagnosis while you wait at no charge.  Josh confirmed my problem, so I bought a new Radeon card and installed it on the spot.  Another boot-up had the monitor immediately snapping to life.  Problem solved.  Oh, the joy.

Highly recommended.
