Well, I stand corrected. This coming from someone who uses a 200 MHZ pentium II and the dots don't bother me at all b/c it reminds me of my old mac days. How long do these 'ugly' dots last? I'm curious now. How long in seconds. Also, I am very sorry that you have a headache due to this. I would help more if I could as I like to alleviate as much suffering in the world as possible. Have a good day. Fred Ollinger
