[P1] Applescript for Dual Monitor Support with modern iBooks

[Jim Shimozawa]

Has anyone tested this with an external monitor?
As an owner of a 700 iBook with a 21 inch monitor available,
I'm interested, but I don't read German and don't quite understand what 
needs to be done here.
Since this is not a hardware 'hack', I assume it will not invalidate 
Apple warranty. Correct?
