Apple CRT or LCD?

I'm embarassed to say I don't know the answer to this, or how to find it out.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm embarassed to say I don't know the answer to this, or how to find it out.

In non-tech terms, is it a TV-style monitor (CRT) or a flat screen (LCD)?

I may as well pose the question here - what would I use on an iMac to play a .wmv file?

To play .wmv files on any Mac, the easy -- and free -- option is to just download Windows Media Player for Mac.

Thanks Steph! I'm surprised the friend I bought the computer from didn't have that on there somewhere, but it might be one of those things that got left in the other operating system (I can boot up in two different versions).

And does anyone know where I can get a good pair of headphones to replace my iPod headset, which is already collapsing under the strain of nearly-daily use? I've had it for 3 months, and they're starting to give me static and the bassline cuts out regularly.

How big do you want? Do you want earbuds or is it more for travel and such? How much do you want to spend?

The Bose Quiet Comfort are full size active noice cancelling headphones that are truly amazing.

Shure makes earbud style ones that are also amazing.

I've got the Shure ones and will vouch for their amazingness. However, they ain't cheap.
