Yeah, this bugged the hell out of a couple friends of mine.  They had waited
three weeks for the school bookstore to deliver their Mac II.  It arrived,
finally, and they took it home and discovered that Apple had shipped it with
Finder 4 point something, and *then* they noticed this little one-pixel-wide
dim line on their monitor about 80% of the way down the screen.  Frustration
led to fury.

The next day we called the University's service center.  Turns out that Sony
had quality control problems with the monitors.  (Remember Mac II screen
jitter?)  So they installed this fine wire in the CRT...  Apparently it
does a magnificent job of stabilizing the display.

Really.
