No, I really dont feel Apple hates me (after all they want my money :>) ), however, I really do feel there is a problem w/ the black and white monitors. (The color monitors are beautiful). Since posting the original article I've seen two others w/ streaking (as the poster pointed out, warranty service was quite good for the 'poping'). The cable is the (very short) cable that comes w/ the monitor. The monitor is not sitting close to anything that should cause RF interference (besides the very impressively shielded Mac II). I stronly suspect that I notice the problem more because I tend to work late at night at home -- and the room is noticeably darkened so my girlfriend can sleep. I'm going to look around today for an Init (?) FKEY(?) or ??? that will reverse the screen (BW --> WB) on the Mac II, as I suspect that will help. Does anyone know of a program like this? Speaking of which, is there a init/fkey/... that will change the default system font size??? I really prefer 11 or 12 point fonts and the screen is big enough...
