You do remember correctly.  The article which you're refering to (I cut it
out to save space) was posted at least twice before.  Once this summer, and
once eariler this fall.  I too, would also like to know why yet another
identical copy of the same message was posted.  When the last copy of this
message was posted, I sent mail to the Mr. Dyckman asking why he persists in
posting the same article time and time again, but got no reply.


****FLAME ON****

Mr. Dyckman, don't you think if the new Mac Pluses or SEs are so flawed that
their screens hurt the eyes of "normal" people that we all would have
discovered it by now and complained to Apple and the FTC?  Since it appears
that you're a _very_ small minority in this, I suggest you go see a doctor
and stop taking up net bandwidth with periodic reposting of the same message.

****FLAME OFF****
