It's not *just* Trinitron monitors for the Mac that have the line(s),
*all* Trinitron monitors have them.  Over a certain size, 19" I
believe, they have *two* wires.  Next time you go to a video store take
a look at the Sony TVs and look for the wires.

The wire(s) hold a shadow mask next to the phosphors that have been
sprayed on the glass of the CRT.
