be in better shape cosmetically (but, uh, everything about a
monitor is cosmetic, no?), but they were working the last time I
turned them on. I used to get big bucks for these bad boys. But
their day has long come and gone :(. Damned LCDs!
I'm just in the process of disposing of two of them (apple- and sun-
badged 19" sonys) (scavenging a few components like high-voltage
transistors before they go), along with a few other CRTs/monitors to
get rid of.
The demise of CRTs is not something I'm crying over, although there
is a nostalgia factor to green and amber monochrome phosphor. I
suppose someday there will be for a color CRT too, but I'm not there
yet.
