    Yes, Windows.  Macs only run MacOS, right?  :P

    Right.  That is what I said before, wasn't it?  Every display adaptor that
I have bought and used in recent memory provides that functionality so I don't
see how the Mac is special in this regard.

    Yay.  After sitting through a presentation from Apple I will never, ever,
EVER even consider anything that a Mac does worthy of consideration.  The only
reason those blasted things sells is marketing and marketing is what dictates
/all/ decisions at Apple.  /ALL/.  There is not a single technical decision
that comes out of Apple without marketing and legal fscking it up somehow.
That is not something I would want to use for a computer.

    Which is fine.  If you did I'd just adjust the gamma down on my video card
so I couldn't read your text.  :P
