Sketching the Ichthus

My work-issued laptop (Vista 32!) has degraded to the point that fixed-width fonts no longer render properly.  I was going to screenshot what it looks like typing this blog entry in a fixed-width font, but my screenshot tool is fudged as well and requires a reboot to work.  This in turn seems to block the Print Screen button from working on my keyboard.

I told IT this just to hammer home the point that (1) I know what I’m doing, and (2) this is utterly abhorrent to be dealing with this in 2015.  The guy looked at it and mouthed, “That would drive me insane” and then wished me luck contacting hardware support via an un-monitored mailbox.  Maybe this time next year I’ll get a new computer.

If I’m lucky.
