[geeks] Aluminum 30" Apple Display

[Kevin]

I bought a 1600SW and although it looked beautiful, i couldn't
deal with the lost screen real estate and sold it (i also didn't
want to float the $$$ for the multi adapter thing to make it
work on my Octane.)  I was moving from a 24" SGI to the 1600SW,
but i think even if i was using a 20" the size hit would have
been prohibitive for me.

They touted it's "wide screen" approach.  For some reason, i was
thinking it was wider than a "normal" 17", but in reality it's
just a 17" LCD with the top and bottom chopped off.  Hardly
something to be happy about.
