Just Bought Myself a Wicked System!

Wow that's beautiful When I first read this thread like a week ago I thoguh it was a weird combination, but after seeing it, it's awesome, and it seems to make sense in your case.

To tell you the truth, I had some initial doubts as to how well my setup would work, having a portable with such a large monitor. While it can be annoying to unplug all of the cables (power, monitor, firewire, and USB) everytime I want to go portable, it doesn't matter, because the setup is SO kick ass 😀.
 
In Tiger, can the PowerBook drive the 30" in Portrait orientation?

That, by the way, is like having two 1600x1200 displays stacked on top of each other.... with vertical space left over 😱

It would be tempting to place a 17" PowerBook below that and have the world's tallest display... 3460 vertical pixels!

(Oops... I guess the tallest would be a PowerMac with TWO 30" stacked in portrait mode. 5120 vertical pixels and a strained neck! And then there are 3-monitor setups...)

Haha 😀. Yup, just tried it, and rotating works.
 
Great 🙂 Although without a VESA swivel stand, rotating is probably mainly good for practical jokes 😀

(BTW can you rotate the PB's internal display? Just for kicks?)

Unfortunately. I'm already seeing tons of smudges. Time to break out the Windex!

Why can't you get the discount on the Ultimate model?

No idea; I called my local Menlo Park store, and the SoHo store, and they both told me the Edu. discount does not work on that model.
