Mac HW knows PC HW

I recently had an older monitor (one that went with my performa)



I hooked an old PC up to a PC monitor and it worked fine. So I hooked up the mac monitor to it (both DB-15)



Well the mac monitor lit the inside of the PC on fire, it melted all the wiring on the video card, smoke billowed out, and there actually was a small flame i'm pretty sure. Granted burning plastic is a horrid smell, it was awesome...of couse the Mac Monitor still worked...but the PC i'm pretty sure didn't anymore

    next time get a video camera and tape it.

    Too bad it was probably a fluke and not repeatable
