Just to update: I checked it out closely last night, running the Duo for several hours. The screen shrinking did set in, but didn't get very far in. It appeared that the bottom corners might be "creeping" slightly faster than the top corners, but if so it was only a very slight difference- it was more or less uniform. No part of the top half of the Duo became hot (or even slightly warm) to the touch at any time.
I wonder if replacing the entire top half (LCD and casing) would eliminate this, or if it's caused by something else? It's one of the strangest things I've seen in many years of working with laptops!

The longer I use it, the more the black corners "creep" toward the center of the screen- in effect, shrinking the usable part of the screen. Is the display getting warm/hot to the touch? All 4 corners coming in at the same rate? The display tube in across the top, IIRC. Shouldn't be getting that warm. Floating ground on the display side? Could be a lot of things...but the display should NOT be getting hot. Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
