Actually, it may not even be that difficult a problem to fix.  Before
you go jamming your phalanges (or your friends phalanges for that
matter) into the back of your CRT, I would advise taking a good look
around your workspace for anything that might generate a magnetic
force or that has any magnets in it.  I once had a small stereo
speaker (the kind that you would find in a car) on a table a good 15"
away from my monitor and found that even at that distance the force 
was strong enough to throw the beam off center.  Anyways this is easy
enough to do and may save you time, money, friends, etc.
