     Mine does that on green-on-black screens (i.e. SPlot) and the default
screen for Tiles.

     Hmmm...  Mine has been doing that too lately...  It doesn't grow that much
(yet).  My personal suspicion is that the apparent growth of the screen is due
to temperature related design flaws, that is, as the monitor (or possibly the
chips in the computer) heat up it causes the display to change.

     Mine has been like that since I got it.  It has occured to me that the
problems that I have noticed have been there all along and I have just now
noticed them, however, is it possible that my 1950 is dying a slow and horrible
death?  Will these problems get worse over time or what's the deal?
