No doubt that my eyes are sensitive, they are pale blue and I am getting older, but I have always preferred low light situations. As far as enjoying a dark environment indoors - that seems natural to me.

This sounds like a deficiency of Beta Carotene which is what coats the back of your retina preventing damage from UV.

Gotta eat them yellow/orange veggies.

seeing this now but basic 40s support would have made this an easy cop

Unbelievable pricing for the set! Hope the anodized surface is smooth to touch. And is there any reason that there's a blocker above right arrow? I am very used to having that place for end key above right arrow, would be great if the same was in this kit!

In Tp4's g5, the ssd gets pretty hot 61*C,  with the cooler going, it goes down to 44*C.  CPU/GPU Minus 10*C each.[/size][/color]
SSD controllers like to run cool, the actual memory however runs better and lasts longer at around 60c.

So unless the controller is overheating, it's fine.

it has been festering in me for years.


People who know me know that I like "sitting around in the dark" .... No doubt that my eyes are sensitive, they are pale blue and I am getting older, but I have always preferred low light situations. As far as enjoying a dark environment indoors - that seems natural to me. True, now that my visual acuity is diminished I need extra light for critical close-up tasks but for general "sitting around" I strongly prefer low light levels.

My ex- in contrast, was one of those people who turned on every light in the house right away. On a dark winter morning that is absolutely painful to me. And, I hardly ever set foot outside in sunlight without dark sunglasses.

As far as open windows, that can be pleasant (if there is nothing ugly outside like pollen or smoke) but downstairs in an area where there are passersby, no, I don't think so.

Just started season 2.

It's a pretty fun show all the way through.  Looking forward to more seasons.

It's odd that there are no R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn keys for the ubiquitous 65% layout anywhere in this set, not even in the extension kit, yet there is a second 1u Ctrl key which no modern layout uses. Would consider picking up if that weren't the case (especially if the two aforementioned keys find their way into base) :thumb:
