minus-squareLedivin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 days agoIn college (early 2000s), we had a 50-something inch CRT. I think that thing weighed upwards of 500 lbs, was positively massive (maybe 3 feet deep?) and it took 4-6 people to move it in and out of our on-campus apartments every year. It was fucking baller for the time, though
