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.

I also heard if you have dimmers the new bulbs will not dim. You will have to buy new dimmers for the energy efficient bulbs.

It does not surprise me at all your bulbs burnt out so quickly. I always suspected this was another money scam.
