I can tell you one more puzzling thing that I have observered on one of our 54 
SPARCs.  This particular Sparc 1 (not 1+ or 2) monitor has vertical lines,
three of them, evenly spaced from left to right (or vice versa, if you prefer)
I can tell you, I am really puzzled by this.  To bad I am too darned busy
lately to get hold of my contact in SONY of America to straight this out.

>Nice monitors, for sure.

Agreed.  Once one is in X windows, who cares these thin lines?  You never
see them.
