Yes, I am partitioned, so that may be my (very-odd-if-so) problem. BTW: I'm running Multifinder 6.1b7; don't know if that will spur anyone to answering, but there it is. (Can we get more of these betas officially? I hear it's up to b9.) I'll find out tomorrow when I exchange my SE/30 for one without a screwy screen and load up the internal hard disk (yes, I got one of those 80s.) Has anyone else had a problem with the SE/30 4meg/80 screen? Mine is pinched in lower left corner, and bows in upper right corner-- gives a "perspective" effect. I brought to our repair shop for tweaking, and they said they just put in a new one. Well, it has the same problem. Could the power supply be improperly shielded and doing weird magnetic things? That's all I can think of.

That's all I can think of. As a matter of fact, I had almost the exact same problem that you had. After attempting, unsuccessfully, to have the machine fixed at the apple dealer where I made the purchase, I called apple. They told me that I could have the repair done at any certified apple dealer (under warantee), so I took it to a store that claims to be the largest retailer of Macs in northern california. They gave me a new tube and it's quite square ('er rectangular). The techie that did the work told me that compact mac monitors are not as square as they used to be (128k,512,+, etc era). I have a hunch that whowever did the work for you either didn't and said they did, or put in a new tube but forgot what your original complaint was. I say take it back, especially if it is still under warantee. If apple continues to offer a measly 90 day warantee on it's products I'm going to make absolutely certain that future macs I buy are perfect. That means bringing them in to report a problem no matter how minor it is. Even though it is a hassle, it has the net effect of extending the warantee period, (apple is obligated to repair a defect as long as it was reported within the 90 period). I doubt that it is a shielding problem. If it were, then the vast majority of SE/30s would exibit the same problem. Sorry, I should have warned you that there would be a flame attached to this response. By the way, the reason the original dealer wouldn't fix the mac for me was because he "didn't think that the screen had a _radical_ problem". I couldn't get it through his head that reading text that waves across the screen is annoying and very fatiguing. Peter
