[G4] monitor problems or g4 problems..clicking?

[Michael Beaudoin]

If they are Apple monitors, call them and there is a known problem 
with the monitors and they will fix them. I have two Apple 17" and 
they experienced the same symptoms. I called Apple and they sent a 
box, fixed the monitors, and sent them back within a week...no charge.
