B.Timer,You've put it well. Every individual needs options.Most of the average first buyers will tend to buy cheaper stuff before they go for class.SKerians belong to another galaxy.

When i see my purple,you see it not.

'Not everyone will go LCD for various reasons' please Jay R assist me as I might be an ignorant Kenyan. What are these reasons?

Jay R,

I suggest that you stop wasting time arguing with SK guys here. Come back when you have made your millions are post it here and everyone will be singing praises about you.When you have an idea most guys here are quick to analyse it and tell you all the negatives of the idea.....na wao wamekaa hivo tu!Reminds me when a while back I said I had emails to sell.....there were the usual critics.....I just laugh when I imagine how much I have made off it now.

Most Kenyans cannot afford a CPU let alone TFTs........CRT are here to stay,in the same way that not everyone can buy a plasma or LCD tv.

Hustle on!


The course of the world is changed by those who dare dream!

First timers are dont buy in bits...the excitement drives them to buy the complete working PC...CPU and monitor plus the keyboards and mouse. In their second attempt they are wise enough and squeeze them pockets to get the cheapest TFTs.

My advice: Get a container load of used TFTs..the cheapest avbl.. and you are the man! Buyers would be there waiting for your landing just like in the 'movie': LANDING OF THE SEACOM,staring Obaks and Ramod.


Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.

Braza,you got your cables in a twist - its TEAMS that landed and launched by the president - SEACOM is still adrift (pun intended) and very much at sea (very pun much intended).

CRT guy - nope! Not gonna happen. Here is why - existing telco market players are going to team up with hardware vendors (and perhaps banks) to come up with 'packages' to stimulate connectivity - such packages are likely to be really sexy packages - laptop,wifi capability,etc etc - look,we already have netbooks costing abt 20k for a brand new thing - why would anyone want to buy a 20kg CRT? oh wait,I can think of ONE reason - no thief would be able to steal more than one at a time


Anyhow....TFT is the way to go,if at all. I know some kids won't mind a 19' CRT esp for playing games but....if for a few extra thousand they can get a CRT (which hurts the eyes less)....then...

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less
