Cathode Ray Tubes are the Devil’s Work

Seriously, they’re completely awful. I’m sitting here trying to code a relatively trivial application and having to use a CRT for the first time in months, because it’s either that or have the code window open on the laptop screen and only be able to see the left half of about four lines, and it’s an utterly miserable experience even compared with the last four days of coughing and stinking headaches with a cold.
How I ever learnt to program looking at screens like, no, significantly worse than this, I don’t know. The colour’s crap, it’s fuzzy and the whole thing bulges out at me like a fish–eye lens. Plus, I had to move my desk like a foot away from the wall just to accommodate the bastard.
Three cheers for George Heilmeier and his team of LCD inventors, I say.
