[1000mp] delayed display turn on

Fri, 18 Jul 2003 19:55:35 -00

My MP is teh same way. I used to work overseas and
I was gone a month or more at a time. When I got home it would usually take
a few seconds to light up but since I am here all the time now(almost), it
comes right up
every day...knock wood !!!!!!
