I beleive the original packing box for the M3/M4 had the following
printed on it : 'Do not drop, or CRT may implode' ... Mind you , I once
had a CRT sent by Royal Mail (who are good at wrecking things!) in a
cardboard box with _no_ packing -- just rattling around in the box, and
it arrived in onve piece. How, I will never know...

Is it time to repost the story of the 'Danger Implosives' sign :-)
