- That describes *exactly* what one of the Apple 13" monitors in our
- department does, too. It was purchased last January, so it's still
- under warranty. We haven't taken it in for repair yet. The jumping is
- intermittent, which makes it hard to demonstrate...it happens
- maybe two to four times a day.
-
- Perhaps those of us who have seen this problem should compare serial numbers;
- maybe it's a quality control problem in a certain manufacturing run.
-
- If you've seen this problem, just email me the serial number of the
- afflicted monitors and I'll see if they're close.
