Every now and then, my monitor will decide to throw a wobbly, and look
like this:

        <URL:http://www.pigsonthewing.org.uk/blue.jpg> (12Kb)

(which was taken with a cheapo digital camera, and is a little, ahem,
"soft focus". Sometimes it's green or grey, rather than blue).

I don't run a screen-saver, but if I wait five minutes for my monitor to
go into power-saving mode, then wake it up again, all is well.

I haven't been able to identify a specific cause, but it sometimes
happens when I use SETI Driver to upload results & download new data;
then, it happens the instant I launch the MS_DOS window. It doesn't
happen every time, nor just wen I do that.
