Re: Is monitor radiation slowly cooking me?

Thanks for your reply, Bob.  (And thanks to all who replied!) The new
monitor is a huge and heavy 19" CRT with a "flat screen."  Thus, any
curvature of the viewing surface is seemingly absent.  We have a big desk
for this monster to sit on, so space is not at a premium.
The tube generates a lot of heat, so much so that the tube stinks up the
large room it lies in.  It's an excessive amount of the usually-pleasant
electronic smell from new equipment.  I'm sure it will abate in a couple of
days, as the tube "burns in."
Meanwhile, I will probably worry more about my electric bill than my kids'
eyeballs.  They sit 2 or 3 feet away.
The viewing is nice, by the way.
