In recent years flat screens have become increasingly popular. Users talk of benefits such as more desk
space, how easy they are to adjust for tilt and height, crisper, clearer images and the total elimination of
screen flicker. It’s like having a different PC, they say, a new window on the world. But there is one
major drawback to flat screens: their cost. They are expensive compared with CRT monitors. Prices are
falling, however, and they’ll soon find their way into homes, schools and businesses.

an important part of the Scottish economy. North Sea petroleum and natural gas are sent by pipeline to
points in the Orkney and Shetland islands and to the mainland. Major oil refineries are located at
Grangemouth and Dundee.
