[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 892288, member: 56379"] Thanks for the correction. Yeah...BIG difference between an 8-core Mac Pro & a Power Mac. As far as the monitor cords...I think everything at Apple is either going iMac or laptops...which of course both computers would not have a problem with a shorter monitor cord. I think it all comes down to dollars & cents...Apple sells many many more iMacs & laptops than they do Mac Pros. So that shorter cord maybe saves Apple 5-10 cents (maybe even less) per monitor. Not a big savings...but maybe it adds up. I also agree that it would have been nice if Apple mentioned something about needing an extension cord if using the display with a Mac Pro (which will be placed on the floor). I do know of some folks who put their Mac Pro or Power Mac G5 on their desktop...even though these computers are pretty massive. I guess Apple figures if you can afford a Mac Pro, you can afford the monitor extension cord. Of course not having the extension cord when setting things up for the first time is much more of an inconvenience than it is cost. Thanks for the info, - Nick p.s. I'm not sure if Apple still includes a USB extension cord for the keyboard when purchasing a Mac Pro...but they did with G5 Power Mac Desktops. So they're certainly aware of the cords on keyboards & monitors needing to be longer when you have a Mac Pro or Power Mac G5. [/QUOTE]
