- Martin,

- It seems as if the *big* problem might be: "How to keep your daughter's
- healthy interest in such things alive...without damaging anything important!".

- There should be a degaussing switch on the monitor. You can also
- pickup degaussing coils in some electronics supply places that
- deal with TV parts. There is nothing "permanently" wrong with the
- monitor (or shouldn't be anyway).
