This NEC was advertised that it could be used by a Mac as well as a
PC.  I think you figured out why it looks different from other PC-only
monitors I've seen!

That's a very good idea!  I always try to keep all original software

can be rendered totally useless, because of the lack of some small
thing you can't get anymore.  I hate to see something useful go to
waste.
