thanks for the info. I hadn't realized that an ibook is considered a lightweight-type laptop. (and yes, I meant 1024x768 for a laptop LCD, but you corrected me there too :-) I knew about apple laptops being able to use the LCD and external monitor separately. that IS very cool. I heard that the Sony Vaio can do that too. too bad all laptops aren't made that way.

<<They can get any monitor they want to go with their G4 towers.>> Take a look at the back of the new iMac. It's got another VGA port. I guess you can have two monitors hooked up simulataneously? Great for web surfers who keep multiple windows open to different sites, webcams, etc.! - bill_H

What's more, I can use the two displays at the same time, at different resolutions and/or color depths, creating a vast expanse of desktop. How cool is that? What's more, you can plug four displays to your PowerMac (or more with a PCI expander box), and stretch a movie window to cover all of them, and hit play, and you'll have a wall of video spanning all of those displays. Try that on a PC. Oh wait, it works. Okay, try it on a PC without Apple's QuickTime. Dave
