I hope they are comparing the actual viewable screen size when they are compaing the prices of CRTs to LCD. Most people don't realize this, but a 15" LCD has the same viewable area of a 17" CRT, and a 17.4" LCD has the same viewable area of most 19" CRTs. You can't compare a 15" LCD to 15" CRT, since they really aren't the same size.
When will people learn that the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was built before ENIAC??? I'm so sick of hearing about ENIAC, especially when I have classes all the time in the same building ABC was developed here at Iowa State, years before ENIAC
