Comment Needed: Cheap Apple Monitor (Score 1) 1212
Call me superficial, but the main appeal of the Mac and other Apple products (I have never owned any) is their sublime zen-like design, visually speaking. But the price was always too high for me. Like everyone else I'm thinking, "ok, now I'll get one". But alas, it ain't gonna happen.
The visual design of the mini certainly doesn't disappoint. It follows the gorgeous minimalist design that makes Apple products so desireable. Except I won't be able to enjoy this aspect because it will be dwarfed by the butt-ugly monitor I'll have to plug it into (by any other manufacturer) unless I want to pay $999 for the least expensive apple monitor (which I would LOVE but is way to expensive for me).
Is it too much to ask for Apple to sell the 17" flat CRT monitor from the eMac as a stand alone or a 15" LCD for $150-200? Probably. If this was available I would probably go ahead and purchase my first Mac.
