I'd like to correct you on this. Screen burn happens on color monitors, too.
The process is just very much slower than in mono monitors, so you may not
have seen it yet. Also, people w color monitors tend to run much bigger variety
of sw than ppl w mono monitors. Thus there's no single picture to burn itself
to the crt, and the crt wears off more evenly.
