Do you use one? If so it would be interesting to hear how well these expensive graphics monitors age. BTW, thanks for the suggestions on the Squeezebox. I have set up an Intel dual core Atom based mini-itx server running Vortexbox. It is serving FLAC and MP3 files to three SB appliances and a Sony PS3. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Moore" <jbm at jbm.org> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 5:13 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Apple 27" LED Display Questions > 2011-01-21-02:07:20 Chris Crawford: >> I had one of the 17 inch NEC crt monitors too, loved it until it finally >> died.
