i run a bbs, and my mac SE (with internal 20meg, and two external 60meg cms dri
ves) is constantly running. havn't found any problems so far, except that every
 so often when i look closely at the monitor, i can catch a scan line, it hasn'
t become a problem yet, but if i was doing some type of graphic arts or somethi
ng, i'm sure it would bug me. anyone else with this 1/2 centimeter line that cr
awls down the little screen? (ps- i turn down the brightness till nothing can b
e seen when i am not using the system).
