Actually it included Apple's 20" Cinema Display.


I spent more on software than I did on the machine.



Everyone here at work are in love with my G5, they are only allowed lo bid crappy PC's that stay dysfunctional.

I think they are impressed with the monitor more than anything else.

PC users ... it's all about bling bling ... show 'em a 23 inch, chrome-plated cow pie that glows blue in the dark and they'll still be impressed ...

(favorites don't count either, because they are fixed and i doubt anyone uses them on a "individual, case by case" basis.)

/granted, with a little bit of effort this is not really that big of a deal.

I have no idea how the "party pics" would have ended up in "Documents" in the first place but I readily admit that you got me there. That case (jumping back up 2 levels to get to another folder from there) was the reason why I had mentioned having a second window open (and why you and I use 2 of them frequently)
