Dear Editor,
Yesterday you had an image of a mezuzah next to the article about the stolen mezuzos in Bnei Brak. There are big poskim who maintain that shaimos on a computer screen can’t be deleted. One would have to wait for the screensaver to kick in, then turn off the machine and reboot.
Why look for problems?
Thanks.

Who are these “big poskim”? This shaila first came up in the 1980’s and as a screen is not ‘print’ per se, but rather different rays of light, it is not considered shaimos.
I guess Matzav.com dosn’t have a problem with it. But they don’t explain why. Well they don’t explain alot of things.
These alleged “sheimos” are electronically deleted automatically 60 times a second by your screen’s refresh circuitry.
Who are these “big poskim”, and did they bother to talk to an engineer?
Why look for problems indeed – especially when there aren’t any?
Rabosai, when discussing poskim we should have respect even if we don’t understand their positions.
All the big Poskim hold that it’s Assur to go on the internet!
LCD =/= Paper
