I just recently saw your show where you were ripping apart TVs and Computer Monitors for the parts at the Recycling plant in California. Will I like to say that the way you handled them tvs and monitors that you could of hurt or even killed yourself. I work at Underwriters Laboratories (aka UL) in Northbrook, IL , a company that tests products for safety and dealing with CRT (which is the picture tubes of TVs and Montiors) is one of our test on impact. If those CRT are handled the wrong way, which look like you did, it could turn into a ticking schrapnal bomb of glass. 99% of CRT made now are ok but you never know. Thats why we live with the motto of "Always Expect the Unexpected!" I would love to show you mike what the danger could be when it comes to handling the CRT in the wrong way.

From a good Fan of your show
Dan
