(in response to someone saying how terrible the 1084 is)

Just to avoid any confusion, I'd like to say right off that you're a
dick. Second, advertising ELITE BBSES!!!!!! in your name is generally
regarded as being juvenile, especially if you're posting to the net
and said ELITE BBS!!!!! is a pirate board. Finally, you should really
take care of that Caps Lock problem. Loose wires can often cause
strange artifacts such as those reproduced immediately below.

-> I WOULD like it if you would post the "PROBLEMS" you and "OTHERS"
-> had with it and WHY IT WAS SO "TERRIBLE"...

I've got a 1084, and I don't really hate it 'cause it's not a bad
monitor for video work. However, it's got a few problems like
occasionally screwing up interlaced pictures badly by, well,
de-interlacing them. The result is often an unreadable flickery
screen. You wouldn't see this because your machine only does 320x200
in color (IE on a 1084-like monitor). (Unless your ELITE!!! machine is
actually an 8-bit, in which case it's marginally less.) It can be a
pain, in any case.

Gotten any rad kuel bitchen new warez lately?
