Thanks for that one Joel,
My imac 1Ghz now has a 35" (15"+ 20" ) monitor - great!

Hi Mark & WAMuggers,
There's actually a hack for screen spanning available for the "i"
series of machines. Apparently the graphics chips in the iBook series
and iMac G4 all supported screen spanning - but in a bid to further
disinguish the "Pro" from the "Consumer" series of machines, Apple
crippled this functionality. (They've done it again with the slower
FSB on the iMac G5s haven't they?)
I haven't personally had a need to use this hack (PowerBook user) but,
many iBook G3/G4 and iMac G4 users have used this hack with success.
All the same, I'd recommend checking out their forums and other
people's experience with it before taking the plunge...afterall a hack
is still a hack.

Here is the homepage for this hack, aptly called the "Screen Spanning
Doctor"

I'm guessing/ hoping that this hack will also work with the new iMac
G5s, but we'll have to wait till reports trickle in from users who
have tried it.
Create a nice day!
