Yup.  Sure have.  Now, I might have described it in more technical terms, such
as API/ABI changes, or X crashing, but the net effect is the same: I have had
the drivers for the video card fail, resulting in poor performance and/or a
fallback to VESA or VGA[1] on me.

Sure is.  I mean, he doesn't even know the same jargon you do, after he has
been using Linux for six whole days!  I mean, how stupid could you possibly
be — everyone knows those terms!

     to hate when your awful hardware failed than the modern vendors.
