	I too have had my monitor fail as listed above, but much more
frequently, about once or twice a week.  What I normally do is turn off only
the monitor for about five minutes, and then turn it back on, and it works
fine.
	I suspect that our power supplies are failing.  At the moment I dont
feel like shelling out another couple hundred dollars to fix it, although I
suspect I will have to do it soon.
	This problem has been occuring since last February, and I hope my
monitor stays alive a few more months.
	On a related subject, is Apple's warranty.  I can only point out that
for a company who feels that their products are made so well that any defect
will be found in the first 90 days, why is it that numerous repairs are made
in the second three month period?
