Gosh, I go to bed, and when I get back online, there's more brin-l posts
than I've seen in months. :o) And it's all good too!

Anyway, CRT measurements are rendered totally useless by the fact that the
tube measurement is *before* you install the tube inside the casing, so
there's a bit on each side you can't see. <grin> I love it.
