[Leica] Old computer monitors?

[alal at duke.poly.edu (A. Lal)]

If they are high end CRTs, and were not been left on 24/7 when they were in 
service, they might be well worth having, assuming you have the desk space 
to accommodate them. The phosphors will degrade if the monitors are used 
heavily, but I don't believe they degrade in storage.
