FWIW, the pdf pismo technical manual states that Apple uses either an LG or a Samsung 14.1" display as standard in the pismo. No mention of Panasonic, though I too had read the above story of the guy who bought 4 screens off ebay, then fixed and resold the broken pismos. If you can find a 14" screen at $50 it'd be a great deal, though a quick check I did found that prices tend to be >$100 - and it also seems that the same guy (or company) is selling most of them; it's also the same guy who is/was selling most of the bare expansion bay CDRW/DVD drives. Seems he might have bought up a lot of them and is pretty well setting the going prices for them. Chris H -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
