I did a bit of looking, but couldn't find a cheap home brew solution, so
I'm asking here to pick the brains of the smart people on the list (or
dumb ones, I'm not picky).
I just added a 4th monitor to my desk. I have it stacked on top of
another monitor. However, when I turn it on, the one below it, and the
one next to it have their images distorted. I'm guessing it is some kind
of EMI that is screwing things up. The distortion is noticeable and
annoying.
My current solution is to turn off the 4th monitor when not in use.
However, I'd like to know if there is any kind of a cheap home brew EMI
filter I can put between the monitors. Something along the lines of
wrapping the monitor it foil, or putting some barrier between them.
I figure people on this list may have run into this before, and/or know
enough about the topic to be able to give me some decent advise.
Oh and in case anyone cares: a while back I asked about a Mac
keyboard/mouse tunneling program. I tracked it down, its called "Remote
Mouse & Key" (go figure). So far it works most of the time under OS 9.
I've noticed it sometimes fails to reconnect after a reboot (not a big
deal, I just go back into the control panel for it and reconnect with the
remote machine). More annoyingly, periodically, the keyboard/mouse will
stop responding. I think it happens with the remote machine goes to
sleep, but I haven't been able to verify that yet. Other than those
issues, it seems to work fine, and with the addition of my 4th monitor, I
no longer have the lag I had with Timbuktu.
