After starting the session (i.e. during bootup and during the first few minutes of regular opration), the characters print as normal to the screen. Then at some point the dot's begin appearing, first over one char, then another, etc. It seems pretty random, and I can't think of anything I could have done to cause it. Has anyone seen this before, and can anyone explain it? It's driving me nuts! Other than that, I love the OS, by the way. Been running it since July... Please cc me copy of any replies, as I don't subscribe to the list anymore (way too high-volume!). Thanks... Ernie Pistor
