Is it just me, or does this seem very similar to the days of ADC on the LCD's? "Nice monitor, I'd like to run it on my older computer (or Windows)." "Sure,..you just need to buy this $350 adapter)" "Oh,...nevermind" If they do the same with this monitor that you can't run it on other computers/i

Hehe... Why? It's not going to get firewire re-instated! Apple never reverse course on these things - that would be akin to the Jobster admitting he had made a mistake! Just my 5c worth :) Cheers Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Apple unveils new 24-inch LED Cinema Display

Big difference is the DisplayPort is a royalty free standard from VESA, not a proprietory connector from Apple. Dell also have laptops available with this connector. I'd bank on it replacing hdmi as the video connection on computers. Seeya Rod Sent from my iPhone On 16/10/2008, at 2:5

Re: Firewire on a MacBook

Yes Apple do some damn wonderful things. And they also do some damn stupid things. Removing firewire is ridiculous for many reasons. Maybe they're abandoning it for USB 3 eventually. (though I'd say USB3 will not have some of the features of FW that

Yes, its interesting, because as a consumer user who uses my Mac for Word and Powerpoint, email, web, high definition video and photography, lack of the firewire port troubles me not at all. All of the consumer cameras connect by USB now. I would miss the Firewire Target disk mode for trans

Re: Apple unveils new 24-inch LED Cinema Display

Yes one feature that intrigues me about the DisplayPort spec is the ability to daisy-chain several monitors off the one port (anyone else also wanted to plug more than one screen into their laptop?) I don't know whether Apple's implementation supports this option yet but I would love to spr
