Hi,
Quick question, is their anyway to connect my iBook to any of the Apple displays? I want to set up a workstation with speakers, Apple mouse and keyboard and I would think it would make it even better if i could use one of Apple's beautiful displays. I know a lot of people prolly ask this but i am somewhat new at this.

You iBook can only conect to VGA connectors. Apples new montiors have ADC. You are SOL.

(i am not sure about the clamshell iBooks, i'm talking about the new ones)
if you use a VGA display, it will work. Unfortunately, apple does not follow the display standards (think different...) and therefore they shoot themselves in the proverbial foot because people like you and me that really want to use the apple displays, simply cannot. We are forced (by apple) to buy 3rd party displays.
There is a pretty nice 17" VGA Viewsonic out there for $950 or something like that...
I think the ADC was a Very Bad Move. It not only sacrifices sales to mac users, but also to the Wintel world - Lots of people would pay $3000 or more to have that 22" display, but they are not willing to buy a mac to use it. That means less money for apple just to keep an extra cable off the desk.
