[1000mp] Display

[Rob Atkinson]

yes, i was going to say that i have a 2004 mk v and  I have never 
noticed a delay but I typically run mine all day long and all evening 
on weekends.  at some point on sat. a.m. i turn it on and it stays on 
until i go to bed.  same for sunday.  i have what may be an out of date 
idea that electronic gear should be used to stay in good shape.  leave 
it off for weeks or turn it on for a few minutes and off again and let 
it sit for a long time and it will get flaky.   so at least once a week 
i turn everything on and leave it on all day whether i'm using it or 
not.  maybe with the s.s. microchip stuff it's not as important (but no 
disp. probs. here hi hi).
