Subj:	Mac IIcx problems... 

Hi,
  My name is George Browning and I'm a Senior in Computer Science here
at NCSU.  I own a Mac IIcx and I'm having some problems:

I just moved to Western Manor Apartments and my place is right in front
of a bunch of power lines.  These lines seem to wreck havoc on my
RGB monitor.  The screen image waves horizontally.  It works fine
at my parent's house.  It works fine at a friend's place that's
further away from the lines.  I've had the monitor, video card,
and the main cx logic board swapped.  I've tried covering
parts with aluminum foil, and buying (then returning) a power line
filter -- you name it, I've tried it.  Oh, I've also moved the system
all around the apartment but it still messes up.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could paraphrase the above and post it
on NetNews (please!!!).  I've been dealing with this problem since
school started and I'm getting kind of tired of it.  Someone out
in the real world might have a solution or at least a phone number
of someone at Apple that I can talk to.  Apple dealers aren't
helping at all.  Ask any helpers to respond to my address via mail.

I really appreciate it,
George
