Objects irradiated by electromagnetic radiation such as that produced by a computer monitor (or the sun, light bulbs, microwaves, radar guns, CD players, etc) do not become radioactive, emitting alpha particles, nucleons, electrons, or gamma rays. The energy emitted is many orders of magnitude too low to sufficiently raise the quantum energy state of the object irradiated (unless your monitor is powered by a nuclear reactor, of course). :{ Rich in Va. http://www.erols.com/richstev Photo Trend Enterprises- A Restaurant Service Company -----Original Message----- >Uh...
