Hi Heracles,
I've moved them further apart (neck strain???) and
it has improved the problem somewhat (should have
thought of that :))
As for buying LCD monitors... I'd say that's out
of the questions until these die or some kind
person upgrades and gives me their now unneeded
hardware :))
Thanks for the hint.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Elliot,
CRT monitors have a coil (which when powered up creates a strong
magnetic field) around the edge of the tube to degauss them. The tubes
also produce interesting magnetic fields when they are in operation. If
they are placed too close together this can interfere with the operation
of each of them -10cm is far too close. Try 30-40cm apart and it should
solve the problem.
If you need them to be close then get a couple of LCD monitors (17"
about $190 each or so) which don't have this characteristic.
