When I got my Mac II home and fired it up I noticed that line and thought
"we'll just call the dealer and get another one."  Wrong.  The word was
"they all look like that, get used to it."  I found this to be maddening.
What I want to know is is it possible to build a monitor of the same
(otherwise) quality without the line.  If it is, then why didn't Apple
have a fit with Sony just the way we did with Apple?  I think it would
have been nice of Apple to demand quality components from their supplier
instead of just passing it along to the consumer and saying "we get it
that way so you get it that way."
