The battery I referred to is the one on the mother board that keeps
track of the date and time when the computer is off. I'm not sure
what the connection is, but when that battery fails, you get no
picture at all. It's pretty scary if you've never experienced it
before, but both times I've had it happen, it was just that battery
and changing the battery fixed the monitor problem. It doesn't sound
like your problem has anything to do with the battery, though. I like
the diagnoses given by the others. They make more sense.

Let's face it. People use a Mac because they want to, Windows because they
