I _JUST_ got my 3000!!!  As in about 30 mins ago!  Power-up deal works fer
me :)

Anyways... I just tried the 1280x400 mode on a NEC Multisync XL (Which is
apparently the "predecessor" of the 5D) and it doesn't look _too_ bad
(relatively :)  I have it plugged into the 15pin (de-interlace) port right
now so I'm missing every other pixel but wide fonts show up and JEESH there
is a ton o' space on this workbench.  I have a cable at home (no I don't own
this nifty little monitor) that should let me plug 'er into the 23pin port
and will report later about said experiment.
