Hi, again. I'm getting a bit of eyestrain from using pickled-herring
because of the streaking I described before. At least, I think that's
the reason. It could be the ludicrous hours I'm keeping trying to
finish my thesis. :)
It's not a big deal, as there's plenty of other heads I can use, but I
was wondering how long it might take to fix it.
Alex.
