Sivasankar & Chandrashekar thanks. Leaving the monitor on all the time
should work nicely for me. We could also be more careful while choosing
monitors in the future.

The minute we have banking + insurance + bpo on massive central servers,
many engineers would become free to work on real engineering issues like
fixing these problems in Madras and elsewhere :)
A little OT but:
I posted about the "Dreaded Deep Blue Screen" at about 8:40 AM but
Chandrashekar Babu replied to that by 7:20 AM ? Did the monsoon blues
eat up some clock ticks as well? I noticed that my sys clock lost 2 hrs
yesterday, and I reset the time. BTW, should'nt GNU Mailman be stamping
time on mails to prevent ante-dated postings? Well, this mail is
already a couple of days old :)
