        I think we got away from the point for a second or two here.  The
answer I was waiting for was to the question "Does this operating
environment damage the CRT?".  Sometime I'm inclined to set a muffin fan
(why do they call them "muffin" fans ? :-) on top of my montior (NEC
Multisync IIA) as it gets quite warm after a while and cool is always better
(usually :).  When I do this I can notice a slight (_slight_) rippling
effect in the picture if I look hard.  I want to be sure that prolonged
exposure to a magnetic field will not mess up my convergence or anything
like that.  I'm not sure whether the IIA degausses on power-up.  Does
anyone else know?
