Reasons not to leave your laptop unlocked around cats, #243

[brooksmoses]

I went to unlock my laptop this morning, and when the screen came up, the login dialog box was upside down. (Also, caps-lock was acting rather strangely, and it took a few cycles to get that right.)

There is something really quite unsettling about having one's login box upside down on the screen.

After I got logged in, I eventually figured out that somehow something had happened to change the display driver settings to rotate the screen 180 degrees. I have no idea what the magic key sequence is to do that, but apparently our cats managed to hit it....

Twilight Zone moments

That would have been really unnerving, esp. if you weren't really awake at the time! :) I know Spot has a thing about playing with the mouse pad on my laptop, but he hasn't gotten to typing yet.
I suppose it could have been worse. Upside down, and a message from the cats - "Buy more milk."
