When I was a senior in high school, I had a math class in the school's computer room. I could tell the instant I walked in the door, if there was a monitor left on when someone switched off thier computer. I had noticed that when the Apple II was switched off that the noise from the Apple green screen monitor got louder and much more anoying. Does anyone have an explaination for this? Mark C.
