        I'm a bit skeptical about the likelihood of getting cancer
        from CRT screens in general and from modern energy-saving
        low-emission CRTs in particular.  Do you regard these things
        as more  deadly  than TV sets, which people have been using
        for half a century-- without notable (radiative) effect?
