Man, this thing is a close runner-up to an Apple
Cinema Display
for color and crispness. Since I don't *have* a cinema display (or
a thousand clams to get one) I'm very seriously considering a
MultiLink adapter. My current tube is a SGI GDM-4011P, and the
flat-panel makes it look like cheap Sampo junk.
Oh, you just had to tell me that didn't you. I probably wouldn't
even have to work that hard to talk my wife into a 1600SW, as she
wanted one when I got the o2!
It really is. It's got Win2K Pro on it, with 2x
450MHz P-IIs,
512MB, the A/V modules, and a Cheetah 50GB LVD disk. As soon as I
get the Cygwin tools built, I expect it to approximate a useful
system. ;)
Is it possible to put Linux on one of these? That's what it would
take to make them really interesting for me (though I'd prefer
Solaris x86 on one).
