You'd think so, wouldn't you?  Unfortunately, its only available
"after" you are logged in (and 4Sight is running), once you logout
the console screen stays on, and after about 3 months, its burned into
the console -- I wonder if SGI will replace these monitors under the
terms of the service contract?

On the Personal Iris's I've noticed that the problem is fixed.. anyone
know why (rev10 PROMS perhaps?) ?  Won't someone from SGI please comment
on what is being done to resolve this -- it is quite annoying.
