That 'omitted pricing' page, is just what has been up for a while now. So they obviously were doing some updates, and the priced site probs was a test/fail of some kind.

Hi, double question for next week.

running G5 powermac/leopard

1. Im wanting to hook up a second display, however im somewhat puzzled by the apple dvi connector, i thort there was an adapter for this that makes it into standard dvi, but i cant find one?

2. Sometimes just as the computer is powering off, it hangs than the fans continue to get louder and louder, till i have to reset it manually??

Thanks in advance!

Hi, question for next week. I work at a printworks, and often we get alot of images in, that are large sizes, but low res. and normally RGB. This is useless for printing. Basically ive seen many batch convertors etc. But none that will both resize, and convert an image to CMYK! If you could help, it would be very usefull. Pls note, the CMYK bit is an important bit!

Thanks in advance

Hi, question for next week - im going to be hooking up a second monitor to my powermac G5 (running leopard) and i want to be able to easily switch it from landscape to portrait mode, via a keyboard shortcut or something simple and quick? Also Will any monitor be able to be rotated or do i need a specific make/model? Thanks in advance!

i have the same kinda set up, except i have two macs running thru one monitor using vga and dvi.
What i do, is go into the system pref for displays, and set the display to mirror, this way the display is still sending info to the tv, but it will be a distorted version of whats on ur mac. hope this helps.

lmfao, nice pic guys. always bringing the laughs

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
