This monitor is most definately a fire hazard. It shoots sparks out from 
the back, it makes all sorts of crackling noises, and bright flashes of 
light reflect off the wall from behind it.

No way am I donating this to someone :-)

I understand there are components in a crt monitor that are considered 
hazardous waste as well as materials that can be recycled. So I figured 
recyle instead of dumpster.

I'd rather not go through DataDoctors - I refuse to do business with 
people who preach "linux is a joke" (heard 'em have a grand old time 
bashing linux on their radio show many months back).

I'll be checking out AZStrut, but other suggestions are still welcome.

Thanks,
Bart
