I am looking for a way to connect a Apple 15" MultiScan monitor to a standard vga port on a PC. Where can I pick up an adapter to do this?

Secondary question, I wouldn't mind being able to share the 15" monitor between the PC and my old 8500/150. Any suggestions for a switchbox or similar solution for sharing a monitor between 2 machines? I don't want to spend much moola on this. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks...
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?

Go to your local Apple Reseller store, and ask them for a Mac to VGA adaptor. Tell them what you want to do; they'll sell you the adaptor for $10- $20.

Sharing the monitor between your Mac and PC (?) is not going to be cheap.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Sharing monitor:

get a KVM switch. Usually they come with VGA style adapters and cables. If your Mac has a Mac-style display adapter, then you wil need two converters (one fom Mac-&gt;VGA monitor, another from VGA-&gt;Mac monitor) to make the setup work.

KVM switches for two computer to one monitor (and keyboard and mouse but that won't work) are around $100.
