Dude! My monitor does that too. Its only if its been on for awhile and its hot in the house. But the whole screen shakes, not just parts of it.

Maybe im tired but I put my mouse pointer by the last letter and it would go from right next to it to a little bit away from the pointer every 15-30 secs.

I got mis-directed to some other sites (read p0rn). This produced a THROBING.... but no wobbles.

oh, cool, so now you see my prob...

I found another way to see it throbble even more, you have to stand up, and be higher than your monitor, and look down at it, it's much better when you look at it from a top-down direction, then forward...

I also tried some other stuff, like i really focused<sp?> on a pixel, and moved my mouse over it, and tried to see if the pixel moved, but it didn't, only the other letters moved, and when I did the same with the other letters, the one I looked at before started to move.....

I think that either something to do with the blue/black lettering bg color is just another one of those red/green lined 3d drawing illusions.

IBhackenedu<sp> Is the p0rn throbbing to you, or is it the site (the web design site)?

If it's the site, is there any explanation? It's just a flash site???

to me it seems to be more of an optical illusion created by the large amount of blue on the left side of the screen. It actually kinda hurts my eyes.

On a side note, for the fact that this is for a company who does web design, they need to &quot;design&quot; thier site... can anyone say balance over there?

Hey it does wobble!



...

Oh wait I was sitting on an orbital sander.

Umm nope dood no wobbling. You should see a new rologist. If a rologist is one who designs websites that is.

hhahahha...cool i see it. it's kinda like magic eye thing. line up another window inderneath one of the lines, get taller than the line of text and then stare at it..the line of text starts going up and down slightly. its an optical illusion. i thinks its the muscles in your eyes contracting because its focusing on a light and dark objects or something...pretty cool.

see, biggieN, everyone thought that my refresh was set to low...

I knew it had something to do with that, the bright &quot;out mission&quot; and the blue text...


Thanks all, you made me feel &quot;normal&quot;...
