It's just too straining to read things off of a CRT. LCDs help a little but I think that it all boils down to one thing: Cool Waves (reflected) vs. Hot Waves (luminescent). It's just too straining to read something that's hot. Printed paper is so easy to read because it's all reflected light. That's why we all print this stuff out.
