    I was doing an intern term as IT support for a school in 2006 and I had to change all the screens they use, as they upgraded gear while the students had a holiday.

    I had to lug these 21" or were they even 23" CRT’s.

    MASSIVE.

    Still hurts my back to think about it. Dozens and dozens off those things ufffff. I too gave a few to some friends who wanted them as they got donated somewhere so

    Luckily the replacements were TFT’s. Even though they weighed like 5x what similar flat screens weigh nowaday.

    LANs were an entirely different business when monitors took so much space
