That thought crossed my mind on my previous email. I picked the monitor
I'm useing because it is old and not a very nice one. Since it will spend
most of its life idle, it seemed a good task for it. But it did dawn on
me that the fact that it is old may very well be the source of the
problem.
I'm going to try swapping it for a newer monitor later today and see if
the problem goes away.

I'm not sure where else around me to buy the stuff. I'll have to ask a
friend of mine that does metal sculptures where he buys his steel. There
has to be someplace better around here.
