Well I certainly have, but its not the cause of my hard-drive problem. I had
an early 1000 that had occassional r/w errors on its internal floppy when the
monitor was on top, but that was probably because it was relatively unshielded.
I'd have thought that a dirty great metal case would provide enough shielding.
And I'd have thought that the machine was designed with a monitor sitting on
top in mind. 

Anybody else got any ideas?
