    Okay, first stop misusing the word "momopoly", it is defined as ONE entity controlling a market.

    Odd, dictionary.com says:
    No entry found for momopoly in the dictionary.

    Look folks, the more we keep bastardizing the language the more confusing it will be to communicate.

    My math skills are far from what they used to be, but something divided by the same thing becomes one. Hence Gnu/Gnu = 1, so it should be 1 Hurd. And who cares about that 1 anyways? So it's should be Hurd.

    No, Gnu/Gnu Hurd = 1/ Hurd. It's the "1/Hurd" OS! Hmm, sounds like "One overheard"...

    "It's not as if Apple's monitors only work on their hardware."

    Apple's displays use ADC (Apple Display Connector) to connect to a computer. The cable has power, DVI, and USB, and only works on recent Macs, unless you get an ADC -> DVI+USB+Power adapter.

    Apple's Cinema Display is the best monitor I have seen. If only I had $2499...
