>And the ones with built-in CRTs had issues wherein the cathode of the CRT was DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to the main PCB. If you weren't careful cracking that puppy open -- zappo! Fried motherboard, possibly fried you!

I'm curious which model this was. The Model III was the first all-in-one model I had experience with, and the between the motherboard and the CRT neck was a piece of flat aluminum. The biggest danger was potentially snapping the neck off, but there was no danger of touching the mother board. Model 4 was the same configuration. Even the Model II had a metal plate between the CRT and any circuit boards.
