[RFI] CFL Bulbs that are OK!

I wasn't aware of that.

I might not assume they will go that way (though they may).  Market
forces will do what they do, having a mind of their own, and it all
depends on how well the LEDs fare.  If for some reason they don't
catch on, we could be stuck with CFLs for a long time.  With supplies
of incandescents drying up real fast, that line is probably gone for
good.

In school we were taught to LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY if a
fluorescent tube broke; so there were exceptions, even 4 decades ago.
