Do you have a desk space-eating, power-guzzling (150W!), dangerously heavy 
(80 lb!) 21 inch or larger CRT monitor that you would like to get rid of ?

As well as running various other Linux apps, I do a lot of photo editing. 
A CRT works best for me for this, especially at the current the 
price-performance ratio. (I'll get an LCD monitor someday, as display 
quality continues to improve and prices drop, and my back will surely 
thank me.)

I need to replace my 21 inch NEC which has given me years of service but 
has finally died :-(  Does anyone know the most affordable way to dispose 
of it in an environmentally-responsible manner ?

If you have one of these CRT beasts you would be glad to have me pick up, 
for free or an affordable price (I'm on a budget, and perhaps this will 
save you disposal effort and $), please contact me directly. Thanks!

Brett
