    . . . You might try keeping the dust cover on (whenever
    practical).  Most of the problematic algae grows faster in the
    range 70-107 degrees F, so it would also be desirable to keep the
    a/c down low, especially during the summer months when natural
    lighting is at its peak. . . .

Unfortunately, I can't control the a/c in my office, and I have no
windows so it's not a problem with natural light. I think the algae is
thriving on the flourescent light.  (Makes sense, flourescent lights
use phosphors too, same as the terminal screen.)

    I'm a little perplexed by a leakage problem with my DT80/1-am.
    It's been staining my desktop lately. . . .

I think there's a special pad you can buy to keep it on, that's
specially treated to resist stains from the salt in the am model
Datamedia.

What kind of gravel are you using in it? I understand that if you use
too much, or the wrong kind, the strain on the terminal case will cause
some of the seams to leak.
