I've noticed the same thing when I first boot up my (new to me iMac G3
400 mhz Indigo). I run it at 800 x 600...1024 x 768 is just too
small, but it flickers and colors change a bit and such then after a
while all seems to calm down.
About how long did it take to become stable? I had mine on for at
least 2 hours, and it only calmed down a tiny bit, but was still
noticeable.
This iMac is sitting in my office surrounded by other Macs....a dual 1
gig G4 with a 19 inch VGA display, a dual 2 gig G5 with a 20 inch
cinema display and a G3 Blue & White with a 17 inch matching monitor.
*drools* :-P lol
Might moving it to another room solve the problem.
I *did* notice that when it was here upstairs, it didn't jitter.
Though, it *was* another circuit...
My dad's supposed to be running another line from the circuit breaker
for the basement so there's power down there 24/7... (Current light
switch cuts all power down there, so I have to unplug my computers
before I come back upstairs).
although this is no problem as I can hide the wires. Opinions?
I would probably use the AirPort card, but that's just me - I'd like
only 2 cables coming out of my iMac ;-)

kitchen. The only drawback is that I haven't yet bought the airport
card carrier and have it connected to the network port via an airport
express....although this is no problem as I can hide the wires.
Opinions?
