The computer I am typing on that I recently bought is a iBook G4 800MHz
12" and I can't seem to be able to mirror or even use an external monitor
with the included adapter. Does anybody know how to get the external
monitor to function on the iBook?

From what I have read, the iBook and the PowerBook 12" are almost the
same; they both use the same LCD screen, have basically the same bus and
processor speed (that is, if you are talking about the G4 iBook), and, I
believe, they have the same monitor output. The main advantages are the
SuperDrive, size and weight, and the stylish case design. The iBook G4 that
I have is very small, and it even fits in a PowerBook Duo carry case! Also,
unless the 15" monitor you are talking about has capabilities of 1024x768
resolution or better, it will not be any advantage over the built-in LCD
screen, as the iBook and PowerBook 12" both have max resolutions of
1024x768. I actually prefer the LCD over a CRT.
