   Do that! It's always interesting to see how one changes opinions, and I   
   do admit that I do so from time to time.   
   I still think that Apple TFTs are overpriced, but I have enough cables   
   behind my desk already (PC, BeBox, Acorn RiscPC, and Dreamcast all using   
   the same TFT, keyboard, and mouse via switch), so the ADC comes in handy.   
      
   It cerainly wasn't my first change of opinion, the biggest one so far   
   probably being my opinion about Yamaha drums. Several years ago I   
   thought that Yamaha drums must be crap, because a firm producing so many   
   diverse products cannot do any properly.   
   After I while I noticed that a lot of my favourite drummers actually   
   play Yamaha drums, and I got used to the sound. Now I think that Yamaha   
   makes some of the best drums and I have a Yamaha kit myself...
