- This happened with my monitor a lot when I first got it. It still
- does it every now and then, but less frequently. It also happens
- to a lot of the people I work with. It must be a feature! I wish
- I could tell you more, but I'm only a user of the monitor--I don't
- build 'em. It is pretty scary though when it happens, isn't it!?
