- Scott Bruck, at Matsushita Display Research Labs in Osaka assures me that
- modern LCD displays cannot be burned in or damaged by displaying any particular

- Scott is working on a much-requested FAQ series on LCD displays; I have
- a draft of the first installment which he sent me just before going
- on vacation for the holidays. It looks real good ... stay tuned.
