But, all that 's beside the original point. This particular conversation isn't

Yes, what happened to CRTs? Do you need that expensive stuff?
CRTs are too costly to ship and produce and new technologies always demand a
premium especially when there are marketable benefits and cool technology
labels. It's becoming very difficult to buy any kind of CRT TV/monitor in
Australia.
How interesting! Is that an availability problem, or one of price rises?
I wasn't aware of that. Does Oz have it's own manufacturing facilities
on the continent, someone like Philips or whomever?
Probably not enough to reduce the prices sufficiently.
Hmmm.
