Hi,

I noticed that on some of the new SGI O2 workstations in the m4-035, the picture on the screen is not really stable. The picture is moving a tiny distance up an down at a very fast rate. At the first sight it looks like a flickering screen.

As this can get very disturbing, when working longer on these workstations, I wonder if you can fix it.

The machines, where the problem occurs, are all located near the wall with the red "No food or drinks allowed" sign. Maybe there are some oscillating magnetic magnetic fields in that area that interfere with the monitors. Meybe the aircondition units right above those workstations are part of the problem.

Thanks.

regards,

      Jan
