This is not meant as a joke, a casting of doubt, or in any way as a cute or 'smart' remark. It is meant totally as a searching for truth. I have noticed a tendency for my Mac+ screen to wiggle after a while. For me, at least, this is an optical illusion. I sat down and put put the edge of a piece of paper next to the characters and suddenly they didn't wiggle anymore ... Have you put a straight edge of some kind next to the wiggling lines to see how much they wiggle? If it is measureable, then it would have to be real. (It might even be easier to fix if it is real ...) The 'clustering' of the effect would also be explained by an individual either having or not having a susceptability to this effect. If it is an illusion, maybe there is something else that could be done to eliminate it? (This is all idle speculation on my part. I am not an authority on the Mac at all. I just babysit unix boxes.) BTW, my neighbors SE has a 'rock steady' display by the paper test. -- E.
