There has apparently been many complaints about the screen jumping every
so-often, for no justifiable reason. One of the sysops for the First Amiga
Users Group BBS discovered that the cable going to his monitor was fraying
around the connector, and was shorting out on the connector. A little 
black tape fixed it right up. This may/maynot be your problem, but you
might want to check.
