I have a god-awful old 'gas-type' Compaq monitor (it has a better name, but I forget at the moment) with the huge, clunky on-off switch on the front, that still work about the same as it did when it was new. When you flick the switch, nothing happens for a while, then, gradually, the light comes up... an eerie orange/red light for the letters, against a black background. It was never intended for graphics, I suspect, but when I plug it into newer boxes, to see if they work, and they boot to Windows, it is really something to see... Windows in Orange and black.<g> -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ -weblog http://radio.weblogs.com/0128450/ A business is as honest as its advertising. .
