Re: Eric's "L" bent out of shape ...

how about your font files?  Are all "L" crooked?

From my observations over the years, once the bits are written into the
screen memory, aberrations will scroll.

Anything causing a power glitch/hit could trigger a false write into screen
memory (such as a refrigerator motor kicking in, air conditioner, turning 
on/off a flourescent lamp (on the same circuit), etc.)

I used to have problems writing to floppies (on another computer) until I
installed UPS systems with power conditioning ... for the past 3 years all has
been fine.  "Dirty" AC power is the bane of computers.
