Rebates: Apple wins, TCA sucks

„Rebates on computer products often suck. I waited a year to get a rebate on my Envision LCD monitor. TCA Fulfillment Services has conveniently lost not one, but two separate rebates for Computer Geeks products! TCA (who runs "wheresmyrebate.com") has just denied a CompUSA rebate of mine, because they didn't like the receipt I sent them.“

„The past few weeks haven't exactly provided stellar examples of the vaunted Apple product quality around this household. First, there was the Changing of the Monitor Guard , as I finally gave up on the 17" Studio Display in favor of a NEC LCD screen (which, btw, I continue to love).“http://www.ericsiegmund.com/fireant/archivesmt/ cat_tech.html#001215 - Cached

„So, this thing would be a wireless terminal in the form of a flat screen monitor. If you're an old-timer like me, you might remember that old mainframes followed this concept of a central computer CPU with multiple 'terminals' with access. It's unknown whether more than one iScreen could use a single Macintosh or not -- I'd guess it's a single iScreen per Mac .“http://www.rohdesign.com/weblog/archives/ 000013.html - Cached
„Apple also includes a DVI output port, which allows you to connect a digital flat panel display or suitably equipped projector to the PowerBook. With the supplied VGA adapter, you can hook up a CRT or an analogue LCD monitor, but if you want to use one of Apple's own monitors--all of which employ the Apple Display Connector (ADC) proprietary connection scheme--you'll have to buy one of Apple's £129 DVI-to-ADC adapters. Also standard issue is a slot-loading combination DVD/CD-RW drive, gigabit Ethernet, and the standard array of Apple ports: one modem, one FireWire, two USB, one PC Card/CardBus, audio line-in (another new feature), and S-Video. Now that Apple has added support in Mac OS X for the Bluetooth personal-area networking found in some cell phones, handhelds, and printers, the company has dispensed with the infrared port.“http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebooks/ 0,39023980,10001694,00.htm - Cached
„Attractive from a distance, the Apple Cinema HD 30-inch display turns out to have feet of clay on closer inspection. It is indeed an expansive and impressive LCD monitor, but its limitations cause it to fall short of the superlative claims made by Apple. It may well be good enough for your needs, but make sure you buy it with your eyes open.“http://www.pcmag.com/article2/ 0,1759,1738355,00.asp - Cached
„Since introducing the proprietary Apple Display Connector (ADC) on its LCD monitors and computers in summer 2000, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has had a virtual lock on digital flat-panel Mac sales. While Macs also come with an analog connector, digital connectors are better at delivering crisper, flicker-free images.“ posted on 2004/12/22http://news.com.com/.../ 2100-1040_3-274443.html - Cached
