Hi all, I've had my little 12" G4 iBook for only a short time, and already it seems like home. The only thing I miss from my Linux box is the big 17" LCD. Sometime you just want to read from one window and type in another, and it's difficult to do on a small iBook. Well, thanks to a very bright Mac hacker, my MacOS X desktop now spans my 12" iBook and my 17" screen. The iBook resolution is 1024 x 768, the 17" resolution is 1280 x 1024. Room to stretch out and enjoy! The hack is free and can be found here: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html Have fun! -- Bill
