Donate it to a thrift store.

The last time I tried to donate a CRT, they wouldn't take it. So donating is probably still an option but you might want check ahead before lugging a big one around.

(And can I say that this topic of conversation has caused me to reflect on how obscene it seems to give up that much desk space to a monitor and yet it was completely normal a few years ago; though when I see 72" TVs advertised it makes me wonder if we haven't gone down a bad path.)

Agreed, when there are 80" models available.

Should have been clearer:

"when I see 72" TVs advertised as Black Friday loss leaders..."

I had a client offer me an obscenely large flat screen tv that had a small crack in it. I turned it down - not because of the crack, but because I don't want anything that large in my house!

smart move. I got a pretty large TV from someone awhile back for a steal. big ass 32+ something screen etc. old school, non flat box type TV. weighed a ton and unless it was the only thing running in the house, every time Id turn it on it sucked all the power out of the house and tripped the breaker. couldnt get rid of that POS fast enough to suit me.

I'll stick with my el-cheapo 27" thank you bery mulch.

I see an obscenely large TV in our future.

Mine's not obscenely large at 55" but I love it. A friend's husband went out and got a 72". They have a very small living room and ended up returning it because it was giving them vertigo.

We have a complete set of Harry Potter and Twilight hardbound books that are free for the taking - but you have to come get them.

You said that cos you don't want ME to have them. I know. :p
