That is such a great rule. Sometimes I kick myself. "What's that?" you say? "You hold back?"

Anyway, it's always something. I started looking at the hookups. I think it might be my DVD player, because the timer will run for a little while after I start the DVD then it says "root." WTF is root? So I find the manual, look in troubleshooting. Nothing about root. So I realize I was looking at the manual for my old DVD player. I look up my DVD player on the internet, find the guide, pull up the pdf, and forgot that something is wrong with my Adobe and pdfs only stay up for a minute or so before it crashes.

So I guess I have to uninstall and reinstall Adobe. Reboot. Get online. Find the manual. Hope it says wtf "root" means, and then I'll know if I need a new DVD player, or I am, as originally pondered, stupid.
