Botch. Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 http://www.apple.com/displays/ Wow, the 23" cinema display dropped from $3,500 to $2,000, the 17" from $1,000 to $699, and they've added a 20" for $1,299! Sure would hate to have bought one [i]last[/i] week! Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net

knunchucksammy Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 can you use them on PC's? I saw one in comp USA and they look amazing.. I don't have a kidney to sell so I probably won't get one... Matt
not Cereal Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 i think it has a proprietary connection, although i suppose its possible to adapt it. boy, i am full of non-answers today. i should run for political office!

[/b] I believe so. But of anything you can buy ones for the PC up to 50" iirc. Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND?
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Oh, great. Yes, I bought a new monitor yesterday (not an Apple, but I might have at the new pricing). That's just lovely. :rolleyes: - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon
Groovepusher Sly Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Jeff, You still got your reciept? Take it back, post haste. Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!
offramp Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 still a bit pricey for me. [url=http://www.formac.com]www.formac.com[/url] has reasonable facsimiles for an average of $100 less. I'll worry about a monitor later. right now, I have to worry about replacing my trusty desktop 7300/200, which got totally fucked this past weekend thanks to the worm virus running around. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.
not Cereal Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 [i]post haste[/i] (tee hee) makes me giggle like a school girl. titmouse!

not Cereal Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 you have a 7300/200? i've been waiting for one loaded with ram and a hd to hit $50 on ebay. i want one of those so i can install system 7.67 on it and run all this old crap i love but doesnt run on 9.1 ya know, cecilia, csound, reverb dist 5.3, all those good old slowerenhell apps. what could have happened to your machine that a formatted hd cant fix? and why would a worm bug yer mac? you got microshit on there or what?
G. Ratte Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. The worm is for Microsoft SQL servers that weren't patched months ago, when the fix came out. G. Ratte' http://www.cultdeadcow.com
offramp Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yes, I have one. Since '97. Love that machine. Motherboard may be FUBAR. Yes, I have some MicroSuck 'products' on there, specifically Internet Exploder and Outburst Expletive. Tried to download my mail on Saturday; OE up and quit, whole system froze, hard reboot showed the ugly truth. (This happened to my laptop, too, an hour or two before, but I managed to save it.) My baby will not fire up from ANY system disc; the closest I get to it is the happy Mac blue background from a TTP disc. Otherwise, it's the 'White Screen of Indolence'. I may have 512M of RAM for you, in the near future. That's what I have/had. Since I work at an Authorized reseller, I'm thinking about throwing in the towel and picking up one of the single 1Ghz G4's with a SuperDrive. Sure would like to have old faithful back, though. Technology exists purely to suck the life spirit out of good, happy people. I'm convinced of it. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.
bdbklyn Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Thanks for the tip Botch....I was order a 22" this morning and was in the process of beating some poor sales guy up when I saw the thread. Bill Dooley Studio Guru
offramp Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 gratte, doesn't make sense to me, either, but that's the only explanation, and my ISP agrees. One internet account, two different computers, two different OS's, no network. Both exhibited the same symptoms during the same functions. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.
phaeton Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 [b] Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. The worm is for Microsoft SQL servers that weren't patched months ago, when the fix came out. [/b] If it makes you feel any better, the vulnerability was reported to microsoft by Apache Developers in Sept 2001. The patch was available in June 2002 (aaaand what took so long?). It is reported that either MSSQL SP3 or Win2K SP3 actually broke the patch for this vulnerability (Oct 2002?). Two weeks ago microsoft announced in a service bulletin (buried deep down in a web page somewhere) that the SP opened up the hole again if you had applied the hotfix or the patch from June. They explicitly outlined that "someone COULD write a worm that could /. the whole inet, but doing this, this and this.". It is so frequent that microsoft patches and service packs break things or open up other holes that it is also no surprise that admins are sometimes leery of installing them. That and just the sheer number is difficult to keep up on. For everyone's amusement, Slashdot reports that Microsoft's Own MSSQL databases were infected as well. So yes, i do find that it's great you can get a 22" cinema display for a bit less now. :D Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND?
deanmass Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I wrote one of the Cnet reporters on the subject of patches after they put up a story about 'laziness' being areason for not patching.... I nearly always take a 'wait and see' attitude on patches...Many of them are buggier than the previous revision... RE: Apple Cinema displays...The power and video run on that cable, so I doubt a PC can use them. If you have not seen one in person, do so...They are the best looking display I have ever seen, I looked a t 3.5K Sony next to one and the Sony looked washed out and dull.
