The other day I went to turn on my Mac II system like I've done hundreds
of other times.  This time, however, the monitor wouldn't turn on and
stay on.  More specifically, everything powered up and stayed up except
for the monitor.  The monitor's power-on light lit for a moment, and
then went dead.  Nothing ever appeared on the monitor itself.  

I replicated this phenomenon several times within a half hour or so.  I
then took the monitor into a local Apple dealer, and he replicated the
problem on his Mac II system, so I left the monitor for service.  A
couple days and telephone calls later, I learned that the service man
was unable to replicate the problem.  Now the monitor seems to work fine
on my home system again.  

It seemed prudent to purchase a year's AppleCare on the monitor, so
that's what I did.  I hate these kinds of intermittent mechanical
problems, though!  I can almost recall seeing other notes on the net 
about this same sort of problem.  If you've experienced problems
similar to mine, would you let me know? 

Thanks...
