i hope you are not referring to me

but i'll survive ... and no doubt forget my loss . . . someday

does anyone know if the "shallow tubes" that are becoming popular on CRT TVs is going over to CRTS or are they just dead ... dead... dead?

CRT arguably remains best for for video but alas 'tis prohibitively expensive if not impossible to make in larger sizes. The shallow tubes from Samsung have reviewed relatively poorly. LCD is so cheap to make and transport that CRT just cannot compete. Even rear projection is falling by the wayside.
