I noticed that my jaggies comes and goes too. Furthermore, it seems to only
occur on a portion of the screen but with sustained use (30+ min) the
jaggies spreads to the rest of the screen.
Hopefully this might help shed more light on the issue.
Cheers
Tony.

Subject: [NTLK] Jaggies observation
(oh no, it's Jeremy ranting about Jaggies again! Quick, hit the delete key!)
I just ordered another 2100 from MacEasy, who says they will offer a 30 day
warranty, so perhaps I'll get lucky this time.
Still, I have this *pristine* 2100 whose only flaw is jaggies.
Last weekend I switched from "pristine but jaggified" Newton #2 to "old and
worn but reliable" Newton #1... used it all weekend long. Then Monday
thought I'd try it again, so switched to #2 and used it without a single
jaggie for almost 24 hours. Then, Tuesday morning, it was jaggie city. This
is about the same pattern I observed last time when I thought using the
Caig Laboratories DeOxit pen had cured my jaggies. Great for almost a whole
day, then back to same as before.
Could the fact that #2 is jaggie-free for about 24 hours after "resting"
for a few days shed any light on the problem? Is there some kind of
electrical charge buildup in the touchscreen or somewhere that gets
dissapated when the unit is unused for a period of time?
IANA Electronics-savvy guy, but whadayathink?
