I was dreading having to find a replacement; CRT monitors are becoming rarer than hen's teeth, and my experience of LCD screens (from my laptops) was not vastly encouraging. After a bit of research on the Internet I was persuaded enough that technology had moved on to take a chance on a 19" TFT monitor by Formac, a German company whose excellent Firewire hard disks have been entrusted with my archives for the past year or so. I took delivery today, and picture quality is as good as my old monitor, there's none of that contrast-shifting that plagues my laptop screen, and the styling is pretty Mac-like (you can get them in a variety of finishes to match your particular Mac if you care about that sort of thing; I went for iBook white because it was cheapest).
This left one last problem - given that the new monitor is much thinner, where will the Colony of Guardian Toys that lived on top of the CRT now live?

So now, instead of being peppered by a shower of lightweight plastic toys every time I knock my desk, there's a satisfying thud as Goldmine's glittery, sand-filled body hits the deck.
Bliss.
