GO FOR IT! Best investment in computer technology I've ever made. Definitely makes spending long hours in front of a screen a pleasure as opposed to a drag. Apple monitors have always been really nice and their current line of LCDs are stunning to behold.

Here is a tip if you want to save $$$ -- try the Apple Store web site and click the link in the lower left hand side "Special Deals." Either new or refurbished Mac gear and significant savings. I was reluctant until I met a few people who've had good experience going this route. Also, I was able to purchase a protection plan for the Power Mac and monitor (~$350) that covers the equipment for 3 years. For me, that took the worry out of buying refurb.

This link may not work based on the way Apple's site tends to time out URLs:

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70303/ wo/IB2UNeUDPSvX2Ddq8Aa15r6NBXi/0.0.7.1.0.5.13.0.5.0.0.0.0.3.1.1.0?80,38

But they have a 23" Cinema HD for $1699. They go for $1999. A year ago they were going for ~$2500 and I got mine for $1799. I consider it a good investment in preserving my eyesight. Again, *highly* recommended. Make it a business expense and find ways to make it pay for itself! :)

I don't really need a G5 tower, but the idea of a machine HALF as quiet as my current one is worth looking into. Ruth, they have some powerbooks on there so check it out.

I was at the Apple store yesterday for the third time in a week. A new one
is quite enticing especially after seeing Matusiak's beautiful 21" cinema
display a few weekends ago.

Now who has a used mac for sale?

I don't know, but I'd sure get in line for a good deal on a Powerbook.
