Oops.  I guess I shouldn't have gone changing parameters nilly willy ;)  I
think I played with the first few settings, not really thinking I would
fix it, but in just exploring the machine.  I didn't realize these were
"important" :)  People sometimes do strange things at 4am.

Hopefully there's a "restore to factory defaults" option somewhere ;)
