I agree.  It is definitely first rate, especially with the focus knobs on the  
bezel.  

Since I moved my ADB/Trini into the target office and the flicker went away on  
my system.  Seems the office where the flicker was (soon to be my office  
again), has a step-down transformer (some huge voltage -->480V3ph) directly  
above it.  The higher scan rate must more adversely affected by the noise this  
device puts out.

Also, the ADB keyboard, once you're used to it, is definitely a plus.  Now a  
command-C doesn't tunnel my carpals.
