@jextxadore The monitor has a cable that attaches to a computer via DVI, USB 2 & FW 400 (there are 2 FW & 2 USB 2 ports on the back) & the power connection is DC via a transformer pack which has a low-profile power connection. From the iMac, I used a direct Thunderbolt 3 to DVI adapter. The two PowerBooks are a bit different, the 15-inch has a full DVI port, the 12-in uses a mini DVI to DVI adapter cable.
So apart from the way DVI connects to the various Macs used, yes, the same cable was used in all cases.
@phoneboy Yep, my playlists sync just fine across three Macs & five iOS thingies, although two of the latter have been decommissioned as newer versions of the same type were bought.

@jextxadore I moved it back into the loungeroom & attached a pair of G4 PowerBooks, and each worked just fine, no trace of ghosting.
@jextxadore I guess so, it's just when connected to an Intel Mac the refresh rate seems too slow. It was OK with the G5 PowerMac (before the video card stopped working). It's also OK with the various G4 PowerBooks I connect to it.
Two & three days ago I received text messages saying Covid-19 door-knockers were in the area letting people in this hotspot know of their options for testing localities. They arrived today at 11:30 am. My options locally were a drive-through facility at a recreation reserve or four ambulance-staffed popup stations in semi open-sided marquees. These four sites were at three locations. Two at the local cultural centre, one adjacent to a retirement village & another in a picturesque little roadside park. I drove past the retirement village one, seeing quite a few older folk queuing or approaching the queue.
Ignored that one & headed for the park. I had a massive queue ahead of me, three people. In & out in ten minutes.
@axodys A couple of token VPs of my recollection are Hubert Humphrey & J Danforth Quayle.

Trialled a 20-inch monitor (2005 Apple LED Cinema Display) as a second screen with my 4k iMac 12 hours ago in a Zoom meeting. I had to disconnect it as the screen refresh rate was so slow that image ghosting was evident. In any case the max resolution is 1650 x 1050 & that don't cut it these days. It's OK for occasional use hooked up to either a 2003 15-in G4 PowerBook or a 2005 12-in G4 PowerBook.
Local Officeworks (Office supply store chain) has Acer 21.5-inch LED 1080p monitor at an attractive price: I'll get one when the store opens in around 5 hours.
@matigo My parents had a dog (Kelpie/Golden Cocker spaniel cross) which by the age of 14 years was profoundly deaf & mostly blind, but managed to get by with her sense of smell. Had to be put down eventually. My sister had another from the same litter, it was a male & twice the other dog's size. It also went deaf & blind and went missing from Mum's place overnight about 18 months ago. It was found dead on the adjacent highway where it had come off second best against a truck it was neither able to see or hear.
@matigo It's a nice outside temperature, getting towards unpleasant indoors.
