Mr Snidesmin

I have experienced this in many many MANY situations on many different PCs. I think that all the PCs have been pentiums, so perhaps it's a pentium problem . . .

I will dig out a few examples and post them tonight or tommorow.

I have only really been concerned with this phenomenon because I write accuracy-critical programs such as erosion simulations.
I especially notice it whenever I use the pixels on the screen to store numerical (height) data as I occasionally do with this type of program.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR OR ELSE I WILL GO INSANE!!! :O)
