I have a relatively new SE/30 (still under warrenty) that is developing a
screen waver, especially when warming up.  Two lines appear, one ~1 cm from
the top and one the same distance from the bottom.  The overall effect lasts
for a couple seconds and disappears.  The problem reappears every 30 sec or
so when cold.

Just so I have an idea before taking it in, could it be the power supply,
analog board, or what?

A friend of mine has a 3 year old SE exhibiting the same problem.  Is this
a fairly common problems for macs or SE's?

And finally, is the mac warrenty one year?  I remember a bunch of PR about
this at the beginning of the year but the documents with my machine said
90 days (I think).  Is it really a year?  (Either way I'm covered.)

Please reply to the address below.  Thank you for your assistance.
