You should have used the CRT as a second monitor. If you don't use two you don't much see an advantage. Try using two and then take one away.

I usually have two set up. I play with a lot of software and I have the largest LCD in front of me then next to it a smaller 20" LCD with a real time performance monitor displayed so I can see what's going on with my system. ^_^

Only since Cub Scouts when we made bleach bottle pigs, and that kind of thing.

Only four or five times, then they start to decompose.

Same deal near me, in my area. So, I have to melt them down, and put them in shallow pans, for the neighbor's dogs to lick. Then, I go over to Lisa's place, and throw them in the ditch. And I leave them on the lawn for the other guy to mulch with the mower. Finely mulched, they can be sprinkled on mashed potatoes.

I keep getting all this made up propaganda from American friends blaming socialism and Obama for America's woes. Unbelievable bollix.

It's not Obama's fault, he has over 500 enablers in Congress. ^_^

Surely anyone throwing CRT's in a ditch is a jerk. But I suppose there may be some places where there are no reasonable options for disposing of CRTs. It's kind of hard to imagine and I think it would be rare. Here in NJ we have bulk pickup once a month for large household items that are not like general garbage. They used to take CRTs, TVs, etc. When they stopped taking them a couple years ago, the new procedure was that you had to take them to one of the two recycling centers in the township, which is still very easy, at most less than a 10 min drive for anyone.
I suppose there might be some rare places dumb enough not to have a reasonable way for residents to properly dispose of these things, but I'd sure like to see some examples.

When I lived in NY, there was no reasonable way to get rid of old furniture, appliances, or pretty much anything outside normal household garbage. They often ended up at the side of the road.
There are.

I've used two at work and home for 15 years. I'd be hard pressed to go back to a single monitor. In fact I'm trying to figure out how to add a third and fourth at work.

What's your definition of "NY"?
As far as I know NY stands for New York, the state, and I can assure you that in many, many municipalities in NY there are lots of reasonable ways to get rid of just about *anything* outside of normal household garbage.
Examples?

In my case it was Dutchess County.
So you admit that there are other municipalities in NY where they are too stupid to come in out of the rain? At least you've reached step-1 (admitting the problem).
See above. Portage county OH, was another. If there was a way of getting rid of "naughty" stuff, they sure hid it well enough. It cost me $25/tire to get someone to take them. Idiot lefties make everything difficult.

I admit no such thing simply because I would be speaking without any knowledge of that fact.
Just because I know of many, many municipalities in NY (including NYC) that make it easy to recycle electronics, doesn't mean that I know of others that don't. I can only speak from my experience and that is that many municipalities in NY and many other states make it very easy to recycle. I've yet to experience one that didn't, but I haven't tested them all. That, I will admit.
If you say there are places that make it difficult, the best I can do is decide whether I want to believe you or perhaps do my own research. Since at this point I haven't made a decision either way, I don't (can't?) "admit" that such places exist. I don't doubt that they do exist, if only because i don't think you'd lie to us, I simply have no experience or knowledge that would allow me to ?admit" it.
