We have several 2000's and 500's here for development work with 1084s and
ALL of them will arc at one time or another, some very frequently (on the order
of at least once every 2-5 minutes.)  We have very stable power here for our
other large computers.  The number of other's on the net and the pay networks
like plink and compuserve who have jumpy 1084's seems to suggest a significant
statistical probability that it is not all in our minds, (or power company
as the case may be.)

Wish I still had my old 1080 that came with my old 1000, it never did this.
Makes the 2000's look tacky when the screen jumps like that when you are
showing it to someone.
