My IBM PS/2 Color Monitor just ~sparked!  I heard what sounded like
an electric spark, and the screen blanked for a second.  The PC
didn't crash, but it sure was alarming!  

Is this a common problem?  Do I need to call maintenance?  Did I 
get zapped by X-rays?  

Do yo think that it has something to do with the high static field
at the front of the tube?

Hope it's not going on the fritz.
