confession: sometimes the monitor didn't need to be degaussed and I did it anyway

After lightning went through my office at NRAO once my monitor was skewed massively. Degaussing it from that state was supremely satisfying.

My gift to myself on landing my first job out of college was a 22" NEC MultiSync CRT that weighed 75 pounds. It made the best degaussing sounds.
-
I scored two of those once for the cost of shipping. Had a giant desk to hold the "face cannons." Good times.

I degaussed one once and it blew up in front of me. Smoke and everything.

Careful. If you let the magic smoke out it stops working.

Also breathing the magic smoke in will NOT give you super powers.

PCB's are not great for the health

Duskers has "degauss" as a command line option in the game, and I love that so much I sometimes run the game just to do that

Once had to fix a monitor by moving it away from the wall that separated office from MRI.
