Signing to the choir? Like they can't hear? Must make a neat sound.
Before you guys get all misty-eyed on CRTs, they really _do_ suck on
so many levels. Geometry is mediocre along with convergence, they
react to magnetic fields - and rearly in a good way. They drift like a
balloon in the wind. They have those wonderful high voltages inside to
attract dust. And heavy and bulky and --- good riddance.

I wonder how long LCDs really last. They say one thing, but using laptops
as
an example, They seem to dim or color ****ft after 3 or four years. It
seems
to be a backlight issue more than anything. My Viewsonic 17" computer
monitor is still good now at 3.5 years. I keep the brightness at 33%
because
it is too bright otherwise.
