Depends upon your point of view. I own nothing later than a Beige G3. And, at the rate Apple seems to be going these days, I will probably own nothing later than a Beige. The only Apple machines I own which have VGA-type connectors are five ... count 'em ... Apple Network Servers, and these beasts don't have Apple-standard video or disk controllers (and cannot run MacOS, even if a 9500's ROM were to be substitued for the ANS' ROM). However, *all* my monitors are multi-scan VGAs, and there are "dongles" nearly everywhere, as needed to convert from what I call "Apple Standard" (15 pins in a 15-pin sized shell) to what most folks, me included, call "PC standard" (15 pins in a 9-pin sized shell). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
