	0.  Get plastic (must be plastic!) adjustment tools.  You
		need one that is a hex, and one a slot.
	1.  Take cover off.
	2.  On the left side is a piece of cardboard with relatively
		clear markings, adjust the appropriate pot/coil to
		suit your preferences.
	3.  Replace cover.

I have recently performed the adjustment on my Mac.  I had my mac open to
install a MonsterMac and the adjustment was way off after ComputerLand had
replaced the power supply.  I might note that in my case I wasn't able to
actually get the entire screen filled and still have square pixels.

	From a clearer (it's now focused!) mac,
