++ My monitor developped a glitch a little while ago that takes the form
++ of the image shifting left to right or right to left at random interval and
++ random distances. The distance is usually less thatn 5 mm and the entire image
++ usually shifts, though occasionally I also notice horizontal spikes and wave-
++ ering.

+ Sounds like your video shifter chip might be flaking out. Try reseating
+ it, and if that doesn't work, replacing it.
if you have a one meg upgrade, you might check the connections also
the MMU, try reseating it too. one caveat, if you are not a level 1
hardware magic user don't go pulling chips and reseating them, take
it to your dealer, he may charge you but its better than having to
pay him to repair an 'accident'.
