Hmmmmm.
Ok, I see. Wasn't thinking that way. Yes, the laptops can mirror to
any size display, but there is only one video out port, so you would
have to split. Isn't that the case with --most-- laptops? Looks like
the thread has some good info about how the hardware works and what
is does/does not do. My bad.
Matrox's Dual Head 2 Go product will work on a MacBook Pro just
fine. You need to use the included DVI to VGA adaptor, then plug
the Matrox box into that, then plug your monitors into the Matrox box.
With their digital (DVI) version, you can even run two Apple 23"
displays off it. (Or any pair of DVI monitors with a resolution up
to 1920x1200 each.)
With the analog version, it can run two monitors of up to 1280x1024
each. (A 17-19" LCD, or a 17" CRT.)

ha! a non-mac d00d clearly. been a C64, Amiga, to PC guy. I know
the mac desktops do dualies and far more certainly! But I am
speaking to the lappies. Sure, a external monitor and the internal
one is cool and all, but I'm talking of two equal sized external ones.

Thing I'd miss is dual monitor support. The dell I have has a dock
with dual outs for actual dual monitors. Mac? Though I suppose with
the dropping LCD prices this maybe moot soon.

Dusty,
The only thing you'll really miss is SQL Server. Everything else
that you
will use will either have a Mac install or there will be a Mac
program that
does the same thing. I use Windows for CF development at work and
at home I
use Macs for my freelance development. I use Eclipse as my IDE so
that's the
same on both sides. Database work is the only fly in the
ointment. I do miss
Beyond Compare on the Mac but there are some Mac programs
(DeltaWalker and
Araxis Merge) that are supposed to as good though I haven't tried an
extensive review.

OK this is probably a good question for Dean!
I am now highly considering getting a mac to further develop the
creative
aspects of what I do. I understand that some developers have
moved to Mac
and use the VMWare to run windows applications. My questions are:
If developing on a Mac would I install things like Photoshop and
Illustrator on the Mac OS or would I be doing it through the
VMWare on
Windows. I currently have the Adobe CS2 Web Bundle suite running
on my pc
under Win XP so I am not even sure yet that the software I have
will run
on
the Mac OS (I have to check on that).
I plan to upgrade to the full Adobe Master Collection with all
the great
new CS3 tools so I wonder if I have to order it for Mac or
Windows or if
the
software package will install on either. I am hoping
either :-) ... I am
researching now but would appreciate any quick answers if any
one has
time.
Thanks,
Dusty
