Free 21" fixed-sync monitor in London

I assume you cvan get a picture on it using the Mac (in other words, there's no some fault in the monitor). It's not someting silly like the Mac provides sync-on-green and the PC odesn/t or the Mac provided composite sync and the PC doesn't, or soemthing like that? When you say 'no picture', is it going out of standby? Does it think it's getting syncs? I once had a realyl evil 'fault' with a monitor. It was a VGA thing and it had a DE15 socket on thge abck. With it was a cable with a DE15 plug on each end. I connecterd it up, and got nothing on the scrreen. Me being me, I unplugged the cable from the computer and found I had syncs on the apporprate pins of the DE15 socket. I connected the cable at the computer end only and found I didn't have syncs at the monitor end. Buzzing out the cable showed ti was not straight-through wired. And tht it wasn't symmetircal. It mattered which end went to the computer and which to the moonitor. After swapping it round I got a good disply. The _only_ differfence between the moulded DE15 plugs on the cable was the colour of the isulator between the pins. The hoods were the same greay colour as the rest of the cable. There were no identifiaction marks or labels either. ARGH! -tony
