another X and monitor question

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

Hello,
	Well, by accident I did blow up a friends monitor.  He sent his
19" in for repair a few years ago, and hooked up a 14" in its place.  When
I typed startx remotely to bust his chops, he was not amused.  It was good
he other monitors around, he never told me his 19" broke.

Oops,
Anthony
