[G4] Issues with my lucky find on saint patricks day.

[Richard Ramsowr]

The old 21" monitorys offen died young - hook up a
different monitor and see what happens.

I had three (3) of those 21" Mult-scans go bad in a
period of 6 months - talk about been pissed! Anyway
the old girl may be old but I wouldn't give up on here
just yet!
