Re: Popping noise on screen >>> How come when I switch back and forth with Alt-Esc among my sessions, >>> when I end up in my Dos box I hear a little popping noise from my >>> 8513 screen? This has happened pretty consistently since I got this >>> PS/2-70 (last August). Is this indicative of a problem? I, too, have noticed a small popping noise on some occasions, but not in the environment mentioned. It happens to me (sometimes) under DOS when the screen content undergoes a dramatic change, say from a full screen editor in graphics mode, switching back to the plain DOS prompt. This has occurred with EGA and VGA monitors. This has gone on for a couple of years without any apparent damage to anything (except my peace of mind). I would be very pleased to know what electronic/mechanical phenomenon is going on.
