  Now this is quite bizarre. I've never noticed such an effect, and
I've been using VLT since before it was publicly distributed, and I'm
a touch typist even. Are you sure that something wasn't hoggin' the
CPU when you tried VLT? I'd recommend trying it again. Especially if
you have any need for Tektronix.
