Versions earlier than 2.0 do not work properly with INITs whose names start with a special character. You need to upgrade your copy of INITPicker to version 2.0 or later. You should also get the most recent version of Disinfectant, version 2.4. > 2. Is there a new version of GateKeeper around? I have version 1.1. The current version of GateKeeper is 1.1.1.

This I can answer - this is normal although it caused me some anxiety as well after unpacking my brand new machine. This line is, as I understand it, a tiny control wire for guiding the electron beam. It appears on many monitors(all?). You'll be suprised how quickly you'll forget about it. well one out of three is better than none.

Regarding questionn #3, I vaguely recall reading something about that line. Ah yes, here it is. MacWorld, Nov 1990, p120. Sony Trinitron tubes (which apple uses) use two horizontal wires to strengthen the metal shadow mask so that it will not deform. Those wires cast shadows on the screen. Jim .

This faint line is characteristic of Sony's Trinitron monitor technology, and appears in all Apple Hires 13" RGB monitors (which are, of course, Sony Trinitrons.) It's nothing to worry about. As another respondant mentioned, it's the shadow of a thin wire that's used (I believe) for focussing of the electron beams or some such. ------- Christopher Tate | "Pardon me, but is this your bar | of soap?" cxt105@psuvm.psu.edu | "Why, yes, I suppose it is...." {...}!psuvax1!psuvm.bitnet!cxt105 | cxt105@psuvm.bitnet | "So do we."
