People get very annoyed when you post without checking the obvious!

Remember, google is your friend:

The Degauss option de-magnetizes your monitor. With CRT monitors static tends to build up on the screen slowly causing a charge to build up which may warp the display a bit. Degaussing the monitor discharges the static charge. There isn't really any rule about when to degauss. I just do it once a month or when I get bored. Sometimes you will see a distortion in the corner of your monitor which is caused by a magnetic field. Degaussing may help resolve the problem if the magnetic field is not too strong.

The question's already been answered in post 2 - just follow the link!

Apologies if the response seemed rude, but I'm used to the netiquette of the *BSD UNIX forums.

But remember that Netiquette isn't a 'born with' skill, it has to be learnt somewhere, why not set a good example...
