Anybody want a couple of 21" CRT monitors?

Dell P1230, don't want anything for them, just want them to go away.
Had five years use. One fine, one flickers occasionally.
Come from a home filled with chain smoking cats so probably full of dust and fur.

Still got one spare in the garage. Can't bear to part with it in case my main one goes pop. They may take up loads of space (correction; they DO take up loads of space), but the image quality is worth it.

CRTs rule, LED/LCDs suck.

Come from a hat-free home.
I guess you consider the one with the added flicker-function to be the more desirable of the two.

And both come with tubes, which seems to be a popular option nowadays.
BTW I saw what you did there. Not big, hard or clever. :smt019

The space thing was the eventual clincher, two on a desk and there's just about room for a keyboard and a cat if you push it really hard.

I bought a Dell U2412m and I have to say I'm more or less converted.
