Yes, amazing but true. First time I have had a hardware problem with any of my Macs or Mac peripherals. After connecting to my Mac mini and the switching it back to my old G4, the screen went black. Trying again with the mini did give anything either. Any else had this problem?
I start to consider two displays, but the chief-in-command might not like that

Update:
Cinema Display is ready for pick-up, so the week-end might allow for some fun with the Mac Mini
