    Oh yes the other thing I was intrested in was its a TFT better for 
you eyes or not?

    As far as I can see it as a TFT uses less power that a CRT If I have 
a CRT and a TFT running 24x7 for 1 year which is cheaper including 
innitial cost ....

    I have a load of Computers that freeze due to bad ventilation (if 
somone closes the window they freeze...) I am wondering if flat screens 
would save the problem and not cost any more in the long run.
