- This ain't right. There is no support for monitors at higher than 640 x 480
- resolution. Remember that when MacUser was writing those articles, the machines
- weren't even released yet. The maximum resolution on the spec. sheet is right;
- this was discussed a few weeks ago, I believe someone from Apple confirmed that
- 14" is the maximum. You could probably drive a multisync 16" monitor, but it
- would still only display 640 x 480 -- yuck! Have to by a Radius 24Xp...
