Actually, it is quite doable. There is a tool for the PalmOS that has
you tap something like 30 times in 30 different parts of the screen.
When it's done, you have a well-aligned screen. Also, it saves those
settings, and you can restore them. It also has three different levels
(IIRC) for various degrees of screen problems. The 30 point one is, I
think, the middle one. So, theoretically, this is doable.... somebody
just has to know what they are doing and write it--I think. ;-)

BTW, sorry for being redundant in my alignment post (see my previous
email). But you guys changed threads on me! ;-)
