Steve,

Color spaces overlap.  While a good CRT generally has a larger 
overall gamut than a printing press, there are many colors that a 
press can display that a typical good CRT cannot.  Adobe RGB 
encompasses a larger percentage of these colors.  Inkjets have a 
larger gamut than a printing press.  Since most CRTs have a color 
space very close to sRGB, you miss seeing a lot of colors.  

If you have ColorThink, or another good profile display program, you 
can compare all these color gamuts and see why we would want a 
monitor that can display Adobe RGB, at least for color work.
