[Bulk] Re: HP CRT mould update

[Marvin Johnston]

Of the monitors I have, there is mold or ??? under the front glass on
the screens of:

* ADM3 Terminal (or ADM3A, don't remember)
* Soroc IQ120
* HP Terminal (don't recall model)
* DIGITAL monitor (don't recall model, but 12" or so screen)

The HP Terminal was stored in a station wagon, others were stored in the
garage and back porch. I don't remember seeing mold on any monitors used
for the IBM PCs or Apple computers. The weather here is mostly moderate
all year long, and I am about 3 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
