San Jose, Calif. – Apple Computer Inc. completely rid its product line of bulky cathode-ray-tube monitors Wednesday, becoming one of the first major PC makers to sell only flat-panel displays.
The Cupertino, Calif.- based maker of Macintosh computers introduced an $899 iMac specifically for schools and students, replacing the eMac, which was the company’s last CRT-based model.
The move is part of an industrywide trend in computers and televisions toward the use of liquid-crystal display monitors, which are sleeker, less weighty and more power-efficient than CRTs.
