Microwave effect

Last day when I arrived in the office I noticed that on my desk there were two monitors! Wow double monitor is a good thing for a developer, but the 'little' peculiarity of mines is that they are old crappy CRTs! Ok, I could pass on it. But when I started to work I noticed that the second CRT has a strange RGB calibration, I tried to adjust it, but the better result was a quite violet luminescence of video, and when I say “better result” I mean the best result that you can obtain by that CRT box, not to talk about initial frequency of them, one it was calibrated on 60Hz and other one 50 Hz, if I didn't immediately adjust that I would be subject of an epileptic crisis! Another funny (yes I bring it about with a little philosophic manner ) particular was that my desk was starting to bend under the weight of two CRT monitors and two bricks (no joke!) under the monitors used to reach a regular height... Well after some hours of work I started to focus on a quite scary characteristic of CRT monitors, the radiation! Geez, I am in the focus of two electronic guns that point to my head!!!
