Why don't we just agree to disagree? I like a good intelligent argument and you have made very valid points of view. But when it gets to a certain point there's no use in debating. We all have a different outlook on how things are/were handled by corporate mentality. I understand everything you said but I think you clearly misunderstood my passion on the subject. In a nutshell, I'm for 100% truth in advertising and any way you slice it - the marketing of this monitor has resulted in a bit of chaotic confusion and numerous questions (from the buying public as a whole), rather than useful and reliable information in which an educated decision could be made regarding purchase. No, I don't want Apple to kiss my ass. No, I don't want special treatment because I enjoy OS9. I'm not crying for backwards compatibility development of apps. In fact, I WANT them to keep moving forward and keep working on X! Then when I have completely converted I'll enjoy it fully. In the meantime, I just want my CHOICES to be mine and not feel manipulated in their zeal to rule the world with OS X. Kathy
