Heh, well I got an 8-year-old AppleColor High Resolution RGB 14" monitor 
on my IIsi and the same on my IIfx and the one on the IIsi went pink and 
the one on the IIfx went yellow.. the IIsi one finally died completely 
after a year of pink, and the IIfx one still works.. I find lightly 
tapping the monitor in the back to have worked :) It would go back normal 
sometimes for less than a minute, sometimes for days, and then it'd jump 
back to bening yellowish. :) Now those monitors are old (we FINALLY 
bought a G3 with a 17" AppleVision so now I have a modern-day computer! 
Although those old Mac IIs were rough&tough machines, very well built, 
beautioful feel, plus NetBSD works on the IIsi, not on the G3 :))
