I know they claim the new bulbs last longer, but its all about the money. Besides I dislike having to wait 5 minutes for the new bulbs to warm and get light.

Three-way CFL bulbs cost upwards of $15 apiece, and we had our first three burn out either one of the light levels or else just plain break within the first month of use. A waste of money; then there's the hassle of disposing of them because of the mercury. I've put CFL's in lamps that don't use three ways, but until they come up with a CFL three way that works, it will be incandescents in those lamps. I'm all for trying to live green, even if it costs some more, but not when it wastes our money.
