Re: Eric's "L" bent out of shape ...

how about your font files?  Are all "L" crooked?

screen memory, aberrations will scroll.

Anything causing a power glitch/hit could trigger a false write into screen
memory (such as a refrigerator motor kicking in, air conditioner, turning 
on/off a flourescent lamp (on the same circuit), etc.)

I used to have problems writing to floppies (on another computer) until I
installed UPS systems with power conditioning ... for the past 3 years all has
been fine.  "Dirty" AC power is the bane of computers.
