I was on the plane to MW with a gentleman from Minneapolis that works for a company that sells BookEndz for the iBook, which has an external VGA port on it and allows you to use the iBook screen along with the external monitor. Photo Control Corporation is the name of the company and they are in booth 3441 and the BookEndz for the iBook is $145.00. I know that is not two external monitors exactly, but not bad for a really portable setup. Tom
