This color rt named "kahn", sn#26-0009843, has glitches in the pixels of the X
server display. There are a series of regions of "drop outs" across the screen
that hint at one or more memory chips having gone bad.
I suppose the chips are on the color display adapter and cannot be replaced.
But if that isn't the case perhaps there's something that can be done about it.
I also found the machine frozen at the Xlogin screen and I powercycled it to
bring it back. No problem there.
In any event, thank you.
