As I plan on buying an LC soon (whenever they start shipping with
7.0 and docs!) I'd like to hear from ACTUAL PEOPLE (tm) who have
an LC and are using a VGA (cheap!) monitor.

Specific questions:
Do you need a VGA (640x480) or SVGA (1024x768)?
Can you actually use the 1024x768 resolution of an SVGA?
Perhaps a better question is: Is it somehow logically or
  physically impossible for my friend who is "good with
  computers" to write a driver that would use the extra
  resolution?
Are brand x vga monitors good enough, or is it worth paying
  the extra $$ to save my eyes and get a nice VGA monitor?
  Or worth it to go for an SVGA?
Where do you get the cables?  

Thanks a lot to anyone who responds to this!
