[DogParkList] OT: Apple 24" LED Cinema Monitor - Cable is too short!

[Dino Papas]

Hi Myles - well, the poor engineering I guess I'm referring to is  
that Apple hasn't "engineered" a display that connects properly to  
the Pro -- perhaps my angst is more on the marketing end as Apple has  
only two displays available now....the 24" and 30" displays; what is  
a user supposed to get from them IF they buy a Pro?  Should we be  
limited to the more expensive unit?  With all the discussions that  
have taken place on the support forums you'd think that someone at  
Apple would have said to themself "...self, we need to lengthen that  
cable so that it supports ALL our products."

Anyway, 'nuff said about it here.
