Computer screen cut to black?
I was on Twitter, and as I was typing, my laptop (2007 Sony Vaio) screen cut to black. The computer still appeared to be on, and I got the impression that it had not frozen. I force quit the computer, and just restarted. Everything seems fine. Any thoughts?

7 AnswersSoap Operas1 decade agoIs Lorenzo returning to General Hospital?
I recently read on General Hospital's Wikipedia entry under the cast list that Ted King (ex-Lorenzo) is returning to General Hospital this June. There's no link for this article, so there's no way to tell if this is true. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks!!! Here's the link in-case you want to check it out. Remember: this could be deleted in the near future, so if it's not there, don't think I'm crazy! Thanks!

2 AnswersDrama1 decade agoGeneral Hospital's Switch to Hi-Definition?
I read recently of General Hospital's switch to high definition, and I had posted a question similar to this earlier this month. I do not have a high definition television, but Y&R is much clearer on my set than others are. So will GH be clearer, or will it stay the same? Thanks a lot!
3 AnswersSoap Operas1 decade agoGeneral Hospital's Switch to Hi-Def?
I read of the recent switch to Hi-Definition that General Hospital is set to undergo on April 23. I currently only get regular Comcast cable. Will I still get GH in High Definition? How will this effect me? And is Hi-Def why Y&R still looks good on my regular T.V.? Thanks!!
4 AnswersSoap Operas1 decade ago"Don't walk away" Song?
This song appeared on the soap opera General Hospital today. Here are the lyrics. I really need to find the song.
"I don't want you to think
I don't want you to cry
Don't want you feeling like you won't survive
Don't want to cause you pain
But I don't know an easy way to walk away
And I'm walking away
Cuz somehow today, we lost our way
And no one nowhere thought we'd end this way
You're not the only one in pain
Wish there was an easy way to walk away
Cuz I'm walking away"
Any help is appreciated!!!

1 AnswerLyrics1 decade agoJason's Apartment, General Hospital?
This may be an odd question, but on General Hospital, Jason Morgan's apartment is a penthouse, PH 2. I know that it is located downtown, because Justus Ward lived in an apartment across from Jason in the early 2000s. And on the Christmas 2008 episode, "Santa" says that he landed his sleigh on top of the Metro Court, which was shown to be a straight shot off of the balcony. I know that a penthouse is an upper floor, luxury apartment. So if Jason's apartment is a penthouse, then how can you see trees out of the windows? This has been bothering for quite sometime, and I finally decided to bring it up. I realize that this is a paranoid question, but it has been bugging.
