    On Firefox: Going here both FF and IE crashes - the difference being with IE the window crashes (alright, and the whole app is restarted if I click away the always-on-top error-pop-up message) - on FF every window crashes. Yeah I've fucked up my codecs, and I do remember another codec-related crash IE crashed (again, only the current window though) and FF just gave me "there has been an error, and you are adviced to restart FF" and the tab didn't even crash.

    On MSOffice - the last I bought was '97, I just copy the ~50mb zipped folder to a new computer - gives me Excel and Word. It gives an error when starting (ironally, breaking macros) but otherwise works flawlessly. Although recently I happened to actually check the filesize of documents - a BLANK doc was 30 fucking kb, converting some doc I send often to html, reduced it from 60kb to 8kb - and shows directly in the email (only problem is printing it turns to 2,3 pages).

    I bet it hasn't been mentioned, so -

    There are (spam) companies who check out (popular) web addresses to see if they're not in use anymore, after this they buy the adress and put in any of your run-of-the-mill "search-engines" in it, and ALSO a robots.txt that doesn't allow any archiving.

    Meaning what? It kills whatever WBM has stored on the site.

    Also, I've been thinking that there needs to be an Art-WBM, I really loved gameart.com, and trying to get what was on the site from the WBM is quite hopeless. Also just small sites - small artists - would be real nice to have their work stored for future generations, Steven Garofalo's I remember being questioned on sijun where it went - the site takes you to just the thing I said about "search-engines". ("rustedfaith.com What you need, when you need it | Popular Categories | Sex Art Music Rust Faith Blackjack")

    In regards to law, I can't remember the tanglible address or website, but in the name of law, companies have gotten WBM to remove sites they didn't like. (Oh, could always try on "Really evil company")

    Another problem of the CRT are the analog pixels, which are not perfectly sharp. They are smeared [...]

    Oh? Looking close just now, I see that there are no "pixels" to speak of, there's hexagon patterned dots.

    As for the "age" problem, what I notice is less detail shadows (although I've had screens which didn't show 50/255 pixels in the beginning - maybe they were used...), and for "coatings" I remember an old screen giving a green tint (mostly noticeable with grey images).

    I've had to reassure him when he goes monitor shopping that the fluorescents used in LCDs (almost always CCFLs) switch at rates a few magnitudes of order higher than normal fluorescent lights

    But isn't it the fact with the motion blur inherent, that they never really "switch", the framerate is infinite? A great test is the "move fingers quickly at the monitor" - with higher refresh there's more motion blur (lcd looks like reality), with lower it's the... "chopped up in pieces"... look.
