Important Update

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my computer has a problem with one of its cooling fans. And it can cause serious damage if I use it. Sadly, that means I won`t be able to post reports until it gets fixed and I don`t know how long that will be. The only reason I was able to post this is through this tablet and there`sno way I would be able to post full reports like this. So hopefully, my computer can be fixed soon.
