with my MacMini and as a second monitor for my Airbook. At this
point I dont want to buy a fancy Apple monitor -- will probably
wait for then to announce a new one -- but price doesnt really

good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

tolerable. Then Mac f***ed it up and came up with mini-DVI
and I had to get new connectors. Then DVI to VGA to my
older monitor. Now I have to deal with a bunch more shit
like displayport, mini-displayport, HDMI, and mini-HDMI.

with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

\_ How much money are you willing to spend, and how good do you
really need it to be good? Are you willing to pay $900 for the
industry standard monitor used by graphics artists, or are you
so cheap that you'll only want to pay up $400 for something that

need to bring down my production infrastructure and fix all this

ordered on 12/8 has been delayed to 2/16! Yay! --t
