Well, that's true, but the monitor can draw it's power from a wall connector
just as easily (you just need to get a different power cable).  It's the
connector for the monitor I am wondering about; is it the old-style
Macintosh connection (wider than a PC connection, though I don't remember
how many pins offhand) or the narrower, PC-style connector that is used in
Apple's laptops as well.

Apologies to whoever on the list is already bored with the question...  <g>
