Don't worry (and thanks for caring ! :o), being an electronic engineer,
I feel a lot more confident with a the H/W part of things, than with
fixing bugs in Ubuntu, which I much prefer to leave for our lovely devs
to fix ! ;o)
Okay, I promise I will be extra-careful then, an accident is always
possible when you least expect it...

Hmmm, I am hardly happy with LCD monitors. A few replacement
technologies are under development, it seems, but I reckon it will take
10 years for these new product to be fully developped, AND be cheap.
So in the meantime, since some modern CRT's give you incredible picture
quality (compared to my old CRT and todays LCDs ie) for a very low
price, it seems to be the only sensible way to upgrade.
