Second, advertising ELITE BBSES!!!!!! in your name is generally regarded as being juvenile, especially if you're posting to the net and said ELITE BBS!!!!! is a pirate board. Finally, you should really take care of that Caps Lock problem. Loose wires can often cause strange artifacts such as those reproduced immediately below. -> I WOULD like it if you would post the "PROBLEMS" you and "OTHERS" -> had with it and WHY IT WAS SO "TERRIBLE"... I've got a 1084, and I don't really hate it 'cause it's not a bad monitor for video work. However, it's got a few problems like occasionally screwing up interlaced pictures badly by, well, de-interlacing them. The result is often an unreadable flickery screen. You wouldn't see this because your machine only does 320x200 in color (IE on a 1084-like monitor). (Unless your ELITE!!! machine is actually an 8-bit, in which case it's marginally less.) It can be a pain, in any case. Gotten any rad kuel bitchen new warez lately? -- Robert Jude Kudla We foolish and happily hold on to sanity.
