A while ago I got a temporary Hardware Problem with the old CRT on my old but still useful
machine. Using Unix Console the White font turned Cyan for that session. From what I
remember it only happened once or twice under Unix, while under Windows the same CRT
flickered briefly from White to Cyan several times, then back.
Somebody in a User Group reported the same phenomenon, so it looks like a low-voltage
problem during the Winter. It hasn't recurred for weeks now, so maybe my old CRT
isn't going to crash & burn just yet. Does anybody know the explanation for this?
Anyway that's why I was interested if anybody was giving away an unwanted CRT for
free. Though it looks like there's no real urgency now.
