| iBook and External Screen I have an external screen ..that i am using with my iBook (2001) and i was wondering..is there a way to close the screen and still keep using the computer by watching on the other monitor and using an external Keyboard and mouse?? That would really help save the LCD on the iBook Andy

| there is a way to do this with an iBook and a monitor. However, I havent figured it out yet. Before I bought my iBook I demoed it at Frys electronics and other resellers. All there demo iBooks were hooked up to an external monitor....with and external keyboard and mouse...with the lid closed!!! I thought wow this is cool, but when I tried it at home I couldn't get it to work??? I haven't messed with it much, but all the resellers I went to know something I don't about this. If you figure it out, Post it!

| External Monitor The only way I've gotten my Pismo to do this is to power it on with the USB keyboard while the display is closed and the external monitor is attached. Hope this helps. |

| Apple representative? I went to Microcenter...there was an Apple rep. a really wierd person...and asked him about my problem. At first he didn't get why i wanted to do it.. but ..after he told me a strong NO.. it is not possible to do that ... it is a hardware thing, not a software thing..... i want to believe him...(even thought he was wierd) but i saw that thing i want happening somewhere... so i know there must be a way... either hadware or softare...i guess that guy ...wasn't very informed... he was also speaking of making CDR partition trough Desktop burning.. is that even possible? Anyway ...just to let you know Andy
