On the otherhand, I cannot COUNT the amount of headaches I got as a kid from the TV and CRT monitors in our house. It's physically painful to remember it. I got a Compaq Portable (8088 clone) for a dollar years ago. I weighs a "tiny" ~35 LBs. ("portable"!) I got it to boot up after some problems with floppy drives. I was so cool to see little BASIC programs displaying silly, fancy, tech-demo graphics. But the whine... oh the whine... I'm half tempted to replace the built-in screen with a small LCD and just disconnect the blue and red wires to keep it solid green. Sidenote: I still miss the warm glow of an amber screen though. There's something magical about it.
