Where was the keyboard & mouse plugged in, computer (rear ports) or monitor? 2. Was there any other USB device plugged into the computer, keyboard or monitor that didn't go with it when you moved it? I know there are 1 or 2 known issues with the B&W Studio displays. I don't know what they are however. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
