There is a screen available for PC's, I believe, called Vu-Pro-Tek that
blocks radiation.  It's expensive (>$200).  It may be adaptable for the Mac.

Laptops that use LCD technology, rather than CRT, I suspect, would be
safer in that there isn't a high voltage electron gun firing behind
the tube.  One selling point for the new Macintosh laptop...
