attention all nerds

Check out Apple's brand new dispays. I should point out that the 23" display isn't new, but today its price dropped from $3499 to $1999. Apple loves doing that - milking the early adopters for every penny their rich asses have, and then dropping the price dramatically for everybody else. Well, I'm ready to buy one of these puppies. I haven't bought a computer for 3 years since I get top of the line loaners from work, so I can kind of justify spending $2k on a monitor. Not really, but kind of.

The sad part is that once I buy it, I'm just going to put it on my desktop at work since that's where I do 90% of my computing. It makes sense - it's an investment in my eyes. But still, I DO end up doing a lot of tweaking to my machines at work out of my own pocket - extra RAM, cables, etc. I've got 6 modern computers in my office right now (courtesy of my employer), but I always end up buying generic RAM for them at Fry's. It's simpler than going through corporate channels :)
