Apparently lots of us are having problems and we aren't having a hell
of a lot of luck finding a solution.

The best answer I have received so far is 'well, the ST157N you are
using is just too slow in its warm-up', I don't buy that because there
are people out there with two quantums having the same problem...
 
Sure wish 'the crew that never rests' could find a solution to all
this.
