My NEC does not even show this problem on the visible viewing area. It wasn't until someone told me where it was supposed to be, that I shortened my screen to find the problem. I did not know that it had even existed! I have owned/sold C= products for years and have always been amazed by C='s inability to market/advertise/support their products. The Amiga sells DESPITE C= actions!!! Commmodore's monitors have varied in quality, as much as they have varied in manufacturers, as much as the Amiga can display colors in HAM mode!! The 1080/1084s,d,etc. is characteristic of this, as now is the 1950! Come ON C=....GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!! I am an Amiga FANATIC. I ALWAYS sing the praises of the Amiga, but I can't help but watch a GREAT Mac commercial and "almost" want to go out and buy one myself!!! And I HATE Macs!! Fire your ad company! Don't tell me you (Commodore) can't. I have sat by and watched a turnover of Pres., VP, and top executives, that could only be compared to the leadership status of a third world country. (ie. short stays!) Oh, one more thing....I wish this "Crew that never rests" would do something about the A3000 second HD problem that so many people are having! 8) -- Art Warner wwarner@en.ecn.purdue.edu Amiga makes it happen.......IBM, Mac, Sun, and Next make it expensive!
