I don't know if this has anything to do with their pricing, but monitors
are becoming a huge toxic waste problem. The folks at the Alameda County
Computer Resource Center (www.accrc.org) where the VCF collection is
stored have started charging $10 for every monitor received as required by
a new state law enacted earlier this year in an emergency session. The
state of California is trying to work with them to ease the burden. It
has to do with storage of toxic waste.
Nobody wants monitors anymore...especially old or dead ones.
