> But I was completely blown away by *large screens.*  

I think everyone is, but the question is do we want to spend
~$2000 for something that could be very cheap once the open Mac comes
out?  To me, the price seems artificially high because of the fact
that "we've got no other choice".  Would a "similar" monitor with the
same resolution and graphics card cost as much for an IBM PC (not to say
that they are comparable!)?

Are we getting ripped off, or is the dollars per pixel ratio good?
