I seem to have a problem with my GS with RGB monitor... When I'm using the Finder with its dithered blue desktop, I get all sorts of strange moire effects (remember the OLD OLD DOS 3.3 System Master program?) Is this normal, or is something wrong with my GS? (I had it upgraded to ROM 1.0 long ago, but whether they put in the new video chip I don't know)... Also, a friend's GS occasionally goes into some kind of super-slow mode. It seems like about .3 MHz or so... You can actually see screen wipes and such in ProTERM and the control panel... Most disturbing. Anyone have any idea what this could be? (bad crystal?) Thanx a meg... jawaid bazyar jb10320@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu "Argh! It's snowing AGAIN!!!"

It is virtually impossible to align it accurately enough to prevent such Moire effects, which are the result of "beating" of the phosphor dot spacing on the screen against the pixel pattern.

I get the same moire effect on my Monitor and I checked both my friends machine and the one at my dealer, they all do it. Grin and bear it I guess. Seymour

Wonder why it is that there's no (what I call) 'center lock' on the contrast control; there's one on the brightness dial. Evan Ron Aussenberg / erast1@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu
