However, the MacIntosh *is* Apple's competitor in the business market. I know that when I graduate, any work I do on micros will probably involve either IBM or Mac. This is what I meant by "graduating" to the Macintosh. Not that I would get rid of the GS and "upgrade" to a Mac. I seriously doubt seeing a GS in a networked/large business environment. (Of course some small businesses may use one or two GS's and Appleworks...) $500 for a GS monitor is ridiculous. $300 would be more like it. I am just the kind of person that doesn't believe in paying more than a reasonable price for something...640 X 480 is still something I would like to see. I realize that this is quite complicated...some graphics-specialized chips might be needed...multi-sync monitors would do that resolution ( and higher) better than a normal-sync would...it's all taken into consideration.
