I do NOT miss the weight of CRT TVs and monitors.
The /only/ thing I miss about CRTs is that you could put things on top
of them. Files. Disks. A keyboard. It was a useful storage area; out
of the way enough that you weren't cluttering up your immediate
work-area, but still accessible enough that you could grab stuff from
atop it at need.
Although God forbid something you put on top of the monitor fell
off... and then you'd have to shift the bastard device to get to your
lost documents.
The closest I've gotten, in this age of flat-screens, to that lost
functionality was when I bought a little drawer for my tower computer
that slotted into a 5.25" external drive bay. ;-)
