I had a Dell 21" crt, was sent as a warrenty replacement, but in the
interim I bought a flat panel monitor so never used the crt. It sat
for nearly two years when I decided I would never use it. No one I
offered to for free would take it. Finally I put it to the curb,
where it sat for most of a week until the trash truck came by and the
driver dumped it in with the recyclables.
