Mind you, I like this 21" CRT in front of me - there's plenty of flat
space on top (not covering the vents :) on which to balance urgent
stuff. Can't do that with a flat screen, so nerrrr! ;-)
There are many

Not anymore.
Tubes have finally had their day. Listening to the radio from a station
with a high power solid state transmitter, looking at a Sony flat screen
while typing this...its over, folks.
