I had some problems back in July with my video card. I was getting little green pixels on my monitor that would not go away. Now since the weather has changed and things are cooling off I do not notice them anymore. Anyone have a similar occurrence? Should I expect them to come back when things warm?

Is it possible those "Green pixels" where just something like aphids on your screen. They'd obviously only really be present at certain times of the year.

You're not supposed to give your monitor a "facial". :)

You could artificially warm up vid card with a blow dryer or something to see if temperature was causing them. Have you switched drivers or anything lately?

Hah! A blow dryer?? You're old school Mac. I would've recommended something like FUR Mark (http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/). :p
