Just a humorous aside not really related to Macintoshes. While I was
a student at a well known and respected University I worked in the
main graduate library. Professors were allowed to use some smaller
rooms in the stacks as "studies" on a somewhat permanent basis in
which to do research.
One day, one of the English Lit professors came down and demanded that
all the flourescent lights in his study be replace with incandescent
ones. When asked why, he responded that they were giving him
radiation poisoning and that he had noticed a marked decline in his
health because of it. The bad thing was that I was almost fired for
practically laughing in his face.
Has anyone studies the effects of X-rays and Gamma rays from
flourescent lights on the retrace capability of a Mac CRT? :-)
