I'm a nerd, not a geek, and I've got two of them. There are also situations like graphic arts, where you can get a little more image sharpness out of a monitor like the FW-900 if you use the BNC inputs instead of the VGA inputs. Grandma might have already blown her monitor budget 10 years ago on a very nice 17 or 19-incher she could barely afford, and raise bloody hell if somebody tries to tell her she has to abandon her investment. Then, of course, there's the embedded world, where the display might not be a regular monitor in the first place. So just because all the monitors on sale down at the local Computer Shack support DDC, don't assume the whole world is that way. Those who insist on automated configuration will have to procure a DDC monitor, but that should never be viewed as the One True Way, with everyone else anathematized as heretics.
