At least on the Mac SE's I've seen, that illusion seems to be caused by the
screen beating; the beating is fairly rapid and subtle (some people don't
notice it, others like me are really bothered by it), and I think what I
perceive as wiggling is caused by my eyes trying to follow the beat pattern.

The other thing I hate is the way the rightmost inch or so of the screen tends
to bend upwards (definitely no illusion!).  Has anyone tried unplugging the
hard disk and fan to see if that has any effect on these problems?
