[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 917879, member: 56379"] Yes that is correct. If you only wanted to use this monitor with the G4 Mac you are purchasing (and never wanted to upgrade to a larger monitor)...then you would be fine. But if you wanted to upgrade the video card in the G4 (assuming the new card didn't have an ADC connector) or use this monitor with another newer computer...then you would need the $99 adapter. Thus the $70 bucks you would be paying for it + the $99 dollar adapter = $169 bucks. For that price you could get a new 22" monitor. I hope this helps...just get the computer for $150...and you're good to go!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
