Peter:  take a deep breath and relax.  That way you will live longer!

	Seriously though, this is not meant as a flame or even a small
spark...just a beacon of possible help.  My friend here in the dorm had a
similar problem.  He took his SM124 back to the Atari dealer who promptly
gave him a replacement (EXCELLENT return policy here in Columbus), brought
home his new monitor and had similar problems again.

	Given, dormitories probably do not measure up to national electrical
standards and given the RF interference we have here (we are sitting in
between three or four TV station transmitters and as many FM radio trans-
mitters) but when he moved his power supplies and disk drive *away* from the
monitor most of the problems cleared up.

	Try this and try to plug your system in somewhere else in the house.
Otherwise, there could be a problem with your system.
