[Lab] seeking 4:3 standard-definition flat-screen

[James Allanson]

I have some CRT monitors that I've been looking to donate to a good home,
about four of them, all with the aspect ratio you wanted.  I also have a
32" CRT TV also looking for a good home.

The catch is, if I bring them into town I'm not going to want to drive them
1.5 hours home.  So you gotta take'em! :D
