True. It also makes a pretty horrible screeching noise. We used to do video animation with a Silicon Graphics 4D/70GT. The system could be switched from standard raster mode (60 Hz, non-interlace) to NTSC mode (30 Hz, interlace) for input to a transcoder. The sound the monitor made was horrible. We never forgot to shut it off :-). I suspect that the electronics in the monitor were none too happy about being driven at NTSC rates. spl (the p stands for PLEASE stop that noise...) -- Steve Lamont, SciViGuy -- (408) 646-2752 (subject to change at random) NPS Confuser Center / Code 51 / Naval Postgraduate School / Monterey, CA 93940 "You're okay," said Honeysuckle.
