New Computer Questions Hey. I'm planning to get a new computer (desktop) and just have some questions. My budget is around $500 (600 with tax). I'm not really going to be using it for gaming much, mostly just surfing the internet, music, etc. I cannot build a computer so please don't suggest. I'm looking for a reliable brand(?) that will last me atleast 5 years. (brands as in HP dell lenovo etc) -Which brand is the most reliable / durable (I know that could be an opinionated question so what's [i]your[/i] opinion on which is the most durable / reliable?)

Retrieving Accounts Hello, I was just wondering something. My friend from years back gave me his account on maple, and I have been in it for a month now, but recently we got into an argument irl, and I am afraid he will try to take back the account. He is the one who switched the email to mine, but he has no idea of the pw, pic, and secret questions, can he still take the account back?

Dead Computer Screen Hey, my computer screen suddenly turned all pixely / blurry / black / color-distorted (lol, sorry if that doesn't describe it well). I just want to know if I can fix this or is the monitor just too old / broken. I'm not sure how long I've had it but I can say it's probably 5 years or older. My computer is hooked up to my tv also and it appears fine there so i'm thinking it's probably just time for a new monitor? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! edit : erh this ended up in the wrong forum for some reason >_< sorry, should go in non-ms tech
Learning To Play Guitar Hey. I'm thinking about learning to play the guitar over the summer. I'm mostly interested in playing fingerstyle guitar which i think is playing like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFF0eh_lu8c]this[/url] compared to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsZcNVjijkg]this[/url](just strumming?) I have a few questions though. -What are some good guitar brands? I'm willing to spend maybe $150-200 max on a guitar (acoustic). -How do I go about finding a guitar teacher? Do I just go to craigslist or something(lol?)? Do you think I can find lessons for $20-$30 / hr? -If I can't find a teacher, I heard self teaching yourself guitar isn't too hard (although it would be beneficial to get a teacher to develop good habits).
