Hmmm, I'm ignorant (or maybe I just forgot the details) of recycle-ability of LCDs, or their comparative poisonousness, and, yes, I'm well aware CRTs are bad on both counts. I *do* remember a New York Times magazine about a year or so ago, which documented the environmental ravage caused by illegal "rare earth" mineral (essential to tiny cellphone through 23" LCD displays) mining operations going on in wildlife/rainforest preserves in Africa. Anyone else read that? LCDs are very nice, but not perfect in every way. Patrick -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
