Sometime I'm inclined to set a muffin fan (why do they call them "muffin" fans ? :-) on top of my montior (NEC Multisync IIA) as it gets quite warm after a while and cool is always better (usually :). When I do this I can notice a slight (_slight_) rippling effect in the picture if I look hard. I want to be sure that prolonged exposure to a magnetic field will not mess up my convergence or anything like that. I'm not sure whether the IIA degausses on power-up.
