Turn off that monitor or power save if it isn't a server! (I think power
save
isn't reliable enough for a server.)

Sitting right on the floor here, next to my homeoffice desk, is an Zenith
flat screen VGA monitor that has a bad case of burn in from Windows 3.1
program manager. This monitor had the most wonderful bright and pretty
colors ever seen, ruined by improper care (in it's former life under
someone else's care).
