Hitachi CM771U Obituary



This evening my 19-inch Hitachi CM771U CRT Color Monitor, serial number V0G007387, born in Tijuana, Mexico in July 2000, exhibited non-recoverable electron gun malfunction. It was six (in human years). Over it's lifetime it displayed Windows 98, HP-UX, Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows XP, and finally Debian again.

Due to high-voltage innards, I won't be taking it apart like the Braun motorized toothbrush.



It is succeeded by a NEC MultiSync 90GX² 19-inch LCD monitor, recommended by Wize.com.
