And adding an DVI connector will cost more money, you know, Apple always takes care to build cheap computers. HA HA!

Apple creates some of their problems being not so widely used by theirselves. In the most cases you have to pay the most of the price only for the brand and the look-and-feel. Very annoying is that some parts cannot be replaced by cheaper PC hardware (RAM, gfx cards) and especially that they have only one year warranty. In Germany EVERY other product has two years by law, and the most manufacturers have three years manufacturers warranty, Seagate even five for their harddisks. I bought an Eizo monitor on ebay, but is still has warranty till 2011. It was defective not, I called them and will get a replacement monitor next week. That's what I call support! Apple computers may look nice, but really expandable is only the Mac Pro which a private user never could afford. Buying a standard PC or laptop with suitable hardware is always cheaper, and you get more, or do the actual Macbooks have eSATA ports and Firewire? Only for the look-and-feel for a real Mac I'm not paying the double price for getting less. And as I read from your last posts, Apple doesn't even use standard connectors which allows the use of other monitors, so I could throw away my Eizo monitor which I'm preferring because it uses a 4:3 format and no widescreen format. Apple may be everything, but not consumer-friendly.

The best thing they made was MacOS X, I don't need more than that. And if OSx86 runs stable on my 2006 AMD machines I don't need another computer, not even a newer Intel machine.
