	My problem is that I have a 19" CRT, so that means that while a 17"  
LCD would be bigger than a 17" CRT, it would still shrink my viewable  
space a bit (albeit, it would still be easier to read -- my 12"  
subcompact notebook, and the 14" before it, are both nicer to look at  
then the 19" CRT). But, I'd rather get something at least as big as my  
present CRT, which would mean a 19/20" LCD, most likely, and they are  
insanely priced. :-(

	I have my eyes on this:

wo/8z5ysyR7Rd8G3hajSVU1zvxeE9N/2.0.9.1.0.6.7.1.0.19.3.1.1.0

	Too bad it costs so much. Plus I'd need to find a DVI-based KVM, a  
beast that is very hard to come by.

	Of course, if anyone wants to give me one of these for a birthday  
present in a few weeks, I won't stop 'em. Hey! Quit laughing so hard!  
:-)
