My monochrome monitor, at random intervals, suddenly displays one jagged
looking line and the rest of the screen goes black.  Knocking it around
fixes it or letting it sit a long time fixes it.  I brought it to San Jose
Computer. They charged me $50.00 to fix it.  It still didn't work.  I brought it
back, the technician said he left it on 4 days and didn't see it happen.
He said it was my machine.  I disagree.  I tried a friends monitor it worked
fine.  Hitting the monitor fixes it,  not the machine!  Now I hear Atari
will fix it for another $60.00.  I feel like I've been ripped off.  All
I have had is problems with the ST.  I had one of the early ones.  Motherboard
went bad.  Bad mouse.  Now monitor.

Atari please reply!!!!!

(* no, I don't have power supplies near the monitor *)
