Mark: Your suggestions about flickering are very interesting and somewhat humerous. Let me throw something back at you on each one: 1) Take all the colors to half brightness – I've tried that, and I lose the new 3-D effect on my Ruler. I know I'm not supposed to according to your last message to me, but I do. At some point the 3-D won't matter to me anymore, but for now it's new and kinda cool, so I want to keep it. 2) Turn down the brightness knob – I sit in front of a Sun workstation and a Macintosh all day. It's hard enough to come home to a flicker- ing screen… I think I'd go completely blind if I have to turn the thing down enough to make it stop flickering. (Although you are right: If I turn off the monitor entirely it really stops flickering). 3) Wear sunglasses – I have to assume you are not serious. My wife already wonders if I am a little crazy. If you come home at night and sit in front of your computer with your sunglasses on, you must not be married, and you must have a lower threshold of embarassment than I do. I think the right answer in the long run is a multisync monitor and one of the various non-flicker boards, but since that costs more than just about anything else I want to buy, I'll probably wait. In the meantime I'll just go to bed every night with my head jiggling at about a 60 Hz rate. Steve
