LCD Screen Tester.sit.hqx
This is a small, useful application for people with active matrix
PowerBooks who would like to test their screen for stuck pixels. It
floods your screen with red, green, blue, white and black; to make the
culprit stuck pixel (or subpixel) show its ugly head. This is so you can
show your Apple Dealer that there is a problem with your screen and that
it needs to be replaced (I think you need five pixels to be stuck for
the replacement, but don’t take that number to heart). This will only be
useful for people with active matrix screens…
OK, here's the mini-review I promised. Hope it's of use to some of you.
Perhaps if I can get the couple of questions I ask below answered I can write a
more complete review (is TidBITS interested Adam and Tonya?).
Warning! I'm no modem expert! Just a somewhat well-informed modem user - I
know just enough to be dangerous.

Dear Info-Mac:
Below is a compilation of answers received from an inquiry I posted to
INFO-MAC. I'd asked:
Can anyone shed light on why a Mac would always reset its date to 8/27/56
on start-up? I thought a bad battery would cause date to default to 1904.
The 1956 date is popping up on two separate Macs. Both check out as clean
under Disenfectant 3.5. Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.
Thanks to everyone for clearing up a mystery.
