You don't need a Mac monitor if you've got a multisync monitor (i.e. any PC monitor made in the last 10 years, essentially...) Go to CompUSA or someplace like it and you can buy a VGA/Mac plug adapter for a few dollars. Some of them have switches on them so that you can simulate the monitor configuration information that Macs pick up from the cable connector. No big deal. I use a Sony Trinitron 17" PC monitor as my spare monitor when setting up Macs of all varieties and it works fine. Best wishes, -greg P.S. While I'm here, would someone who has managed to connect a 17" Apple LCD display to a B&W using the various adapters available like to comment on how well it works and if it's worth the money? -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
