The external monitor is much sharper than the built-in display, and has MUCH better color reproduction. He's able to use it at its highest resolution, and still read fine print. He cannot do that with the built-in screens. They're just too soft and fuzzy for his eyes. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Mirroring... Why?
Hi. I was playing around with my Macs the other day. My PowerBook G3 has a VGA port on the back and when I hooked my monitor to it found that itt supports a second display in spanning mode. A handy feature when working with a lot of apps. I then hooked up the monitor to my G3 iMac and this only supports mirror mode, where it replicates what is on the main display. What is the point of this? The only thing I can see is if the main display fails. Simon The big thing I can think of would be hooking the computer up to something like a projector or a larger monitor to demonstrate something. Other than that, I don't get it. That feature seems much more usable on a laptop, which you'll take with you on the road where you might need to demonstrate something. But, the laptops have mirroring and spanning. Oh well. Apple doesn't really make sense all the time.
