Gad. I thought Macs had built in support for two monitors. I still remember the weird guy at my company running two monitors off of his natively. And bragging about it endlessly. And refusing to put any documentation out in a format that could be read by Wintel. And being told not to let the door hit him in the a** on the way out... Not that this path is the path for all Mac guys. My point is that I thought it was native... buck

Greg, don't fight the forces--use them. Can't help you on the Mac stuff, buddy. Good luck on getting into the mainstream.

I am thinking of also crossing to the Dark Side and buy a Wintel. Any recs for a Dell or other brand tower, and large FPDs? I may try to use a KVM switch to share monitors across the systems, but this isn't required. Life's tougher when you fight the value chains. Greg Greg, Don't do it! Don't confuse a good investment strategy with making personal purchases. Microsoft may be a great investment, but their product when compared to Apple sucks! I have had Macs at home, and a Wintel machine at work. I hate Windows NT! It is clumsy, non-intuitive...a poor imitation of the MAC OS. The latest Mac operating systems are great, and the one coming out next year will blow Windows away. Buy MSFT stock if you want, but stay with the Power Macs! (by the way, I have been holding onto some Apple stock, and it's not a bad investment lately either!) JMHO JB
