Did you even read what I wrote? What does manufacturing technology being far more expensive and capital intensive have to do with it *after* the factorys are built and have the same production capacity as CRTs?

I'd be interested in any real information you might have on this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Birkmaier" <craig@xxxxxxxxx> > At 10:28 AM -0400 7/2/04, John Golitsis wrote: > >I said "on the same scale".
