Hi Mark; If you turn your machine around and look at the back, there is an oval shaped air 'vent' perforation area. The top edge of that area as a tiny little slot in the center. A very small screwdriver inserted there with a gentle pry and the 'vent' will pop off. (Vent is only a plastic cover) Underneath that area you will find a video connection. Voila! Two monitors capable! I suggest at least shutting down before starting this process. Its much more gentle on the hard drive. Skip the shut down if you really like unnecessary risk of data loss. I have not set up for two monitors on one yet... but soon... very soon... Don -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
