Re: Magnets allowed?¿?

Add keep them away from computers. I just got one too close to my monitor, and ouch! I'm not talking about magnetizing the shadow mask/apature grill and distorting the colors either. The magnet was soo strong that it bent and stretched a few hunderd of the shadow mask wires!! I now have irreparable black lines across about the middle quarter of my screen. I can hardly see what i am typing. Ooops!!! I guess it's my own dumb fault. At least this isn't my good monitor. (or i wouldn't have been messing w/magnets.) (switches monitors)
If you ever get a hold of a black and white television have fun with the magnets. They do no damage the cvt/phospher screen and the magnets actually distort the screen. It is pretty cool.
