[penguicon-general] geek advice needed

[LadySarah]

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that part... I'll have to double check with
Patrick but it's prolly a CRT rather than an LCD flat screen because our
company isn't cheap but I can't see them buying all 38 of us LCD screens,
and I do have the refresh rate set as high as it will go - 75 Hz.  That's
one of the first things I did because the "standard" refresh rate was
driving me buggy the moment I turned it on.

Thanks!  :)
