It's a peculiarity of the older LCD screens, both active and passive. The
pixel modules have a memory and take longer to fade than a CRT. The fast
refresh rate of newer computers is faster than the fade rate and so gives
ghosts. The higher the screen quality, the less ghosting. Passives ghost
more than active displays. Check some of the PC laptop screens. (even some of
the expensive units) You'll be very happy to get back to the Mac's screen, as
it has much less ghosting than the majority of PC screens. (Especially look at
the "mouse trails")
