The first GraphOn OptimaX terminal I received went up in smoke. Literally. After a few hours in operation the screen went black and then white smoke began to curl upwards. The local dealer replaced it, and the replacement worked for several months, but yesterday the replacement failed in the same way. At USENIX in June someone from GraphOn told me there were power supply problems with a batch of the terminals. My first one had serial number 31169, the second 28776. I suggest not leaving these terminals unattended for long periods when they're switched on. I'm keeping a fire extinguisher near mine. -- Howard Gayle TN/ETX/TT/HL Ericsson Telecom AB S-126 25 Stockholm Sweden howard@ericsson.se uunet!ericsson.se!howard Phone: +46 8 719 5565 FAX : +46 8 719 8439
