Well, you could place a small object (say, an eraser) under the
left-hand side of your Mac...

Sorry, it's close to April Fools' Day and I couldn't resist.

Actually, all you have to do is get a friend who knows how to handle a
CRT and have him or her open the Mac and gently twist the yoke until
the screen is straight.  It's really quite simple if you know what
you're doing, but very dangerous if you don't.  No kidding: you could
DIE if you touch the wrong thing at the wrong time.  Only an
experienced technician should attempt this stunt.
