Is there a FAQ on lightbulb changing?
What about a video?
can someone post a walkthrough?
Should we make a discussion thread on the same topic, but how it's always dark when you have to change them?

Ug... yeah... this is has been posted before as oli stated.

How many HoPers does it take to do a search?

I find it expecially ironic since it says in the spam that you cut and pasted.

Bump it up 9 more times and Bill Gates will send you a million dollars.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
