vertical mac attack

This evening I noticed another vertical line pop up on my moniter.. it is dying a slow death. I hear apple will fix the problem for $700.00. Some people even got apple to replace the board for free by way of relentless nagging. Unfortunately I was not as lucky being so far out of the warranty period, a warranty that I really did not have in the first place, (long story). Another wait and see. At least the the new line is a different color, adding some variety to the problem.
