I personally, think that a great idea. It always interesting why a company
would
make such a bad decision and use a fire-bomb for a monitor in the first place.

Speaking of firebombs, I started working on some of my G-08's last night. One
actually kinda worked, it had no blue color, so I played Tac-Scan for about
15 minutes, that is until the deflection started randoming collapsing on
me. I've never seen a monitor go slowly, so I kept playing :0 It
continued with
these symptoms for a while (of course I'm playing the game of my life
here), but
now comes to my question... There started to be gas-like clouds around my
ships...and most other vectors on the screen. It almost seem like a high
voltage
problem, but I thought I would ask the experts. Any ideas?
