Michael Theilig) writes: 10 days or so later I get a nice package. A 1080 monitor. [horror story deleted] I am pleased with the flicker-buster thing and the mouse mat, but I really wanted the 1084. I got the monitor about a year ago, and it is dated September, 1985. Do you have a good reason for preferring the 1084 over the 1080? The 1080 is a much nicer monitor than the 1084, and over the past year or two this newsgroup has been averaging about one 1084 horror story per month (dead monitors, arcing, fire and brimstone shooting out the back, etc. etc.). I've had my 1080 since fall of 1986 with no problems whatsoever. Note that these comments do not apply to the 1084-S, which is really a stereo version of the 1080 that happens to go under the 1084 name. --M -- Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
