In response to the questions about Apple Color Monitors making soft
popping sounds (like static) after warming up...

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that mine was experiencing this
problem.  Being somewhat concerned (and still under warranty) I took
it in for service.  I was informed that this was a known problem with
the monitors.  Apparently in humid conditions, you can get static
discharges inside the monitor.  I was told not to worry about it.
Nonetheless, I am probably going to put my IIcx and monitor on
AppleCare.

This seems to be a logical explanation, since I have brought my Mac in
to work where it is air-conditioned and the monitor now seems to be
perfectly happy.
