...of CRT monitors and cats they could hold. When I upgraded from a 17" to a 19" CRT I called it a "3 cat unit". I think it weighed about 60 pounds, without cats that is.

On my "TO DO" list is going through them to figure out which ones still have decent pictures (some got fuzzy with age) and take the bad ones to the annual electronics collection event this spring. All I use now (on a regular basis) are flat screens and the cats can't sleep on those.

I've always got at least one box in the hall, always the same size, about 1 cubic foot. There's always a cat in it. The cats seem to like it because there's only one entrance to defend from the dogs.
