- The Apple 16" is not a multiscan monitor. At least that is what it
- says in the book. As far as I know Apple doesn't produce multiscan
- monitors, although I might be nice if they did, if only to drive down
- the price of other multiscans. And speaking of price, that $999 is one I
- haven't seen on the Sony 16" multiscan. The prices that I have seen have
- been in the $1400 - $1500 range. if oyu can get it for under $1k I say
- don't ask questions.
