Of course, I couldn't imagine ever doing such a thing to a computer, but
I did manage to get to talk to one of the head engineers at Matrox who
admitted that it might be a fault with the card. He offered to swap the
card and send round a technician if the new card wouldn't work.

(You don't think this sudden and unexpected enthusiasm to help me might
have something to do with mentioning that I write for Internet Magazine,
do you?)

Sadly, the new card still hasn't shown up after tend days and unless
they get their act together I will be reviewing their products
accordingly...
