Presumably the super-slim CRT's will weigh less than a regular CRT since there's so much less material there, but you're right they will no doubt continue to be heavier than plasma and LCD. But if I can buy a large CRT-based HDTV for $1,000 vs. $3,000 for the plasma HDTV, I know which one I'm gonna buy. Even though it's gonna be heavier than the plasma. --- Rex. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be November 23.
