Owl asked me:
I don't want to be blinded by an advertisement, first thing.
How could a power strip stop the splash screen ?

How would the splash screen work without power?

What do you think a "splash screen" is ? !

1. Turn on monitor, to start my day, in the pitch-black room.

2. Splash Screen appears, blinding me.

3. Note the brand of my monitor ( for the millionth time ).

4. Turn off the monitor, because "Owl" said so.

You can't see any problems with this, above ?

I could never use the monitor.
