	From what I remember from a couple of years ago, there was a discussion 
as to which monitors were compatible with the GS. Most Mac monitors are 
not compatible. You may want to wait around to see what the FAQs have to 
say.

	FYI, if you're going to be in Winnipeg there is a place (or was last 
summer) with a whole lot of monitors (//e, GS) for sale.
