CRT monitors VS Laptop stuff

[Ric Moore]

I notice my monitor kinda grey-ing out every so often. I'm hoping I
don't have to replace this monster Dell and was wondering if some of the
laptop stuff that seems to be loaded will try to dim the display for
power saving measures. I am plugged into the wall for juice ...not a
battery in sight. 

Whatever bad juju I had in my mouse seems to have climbed into my
monitor. I can't find a chicken foot to wave at it, so I figured to
ask. :) Ric
