Comment Good thing I'm using an LCD! (Score 5, Interesting) 277
Having skimmed the text of the patent claim, it appears to me that using an LCD monitor would be completely outside the scope of the patent:
The satellite facilities are sales and information terminals, each equipped with a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) for receiving and displaying requested customer information from the computer's data sources at the data processing center.
So I guess all the web retailers have to do is add a disclaimer that only customers using LCDs or OLEDs are allowed to access the system!
